UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Jerome Lee Cross is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On December 30, 2014, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s second amended complaint for failure 

to state a cognizable claim under section 1983 and granted Plaintiff one final opportunity to further 

amend within thirty days. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A; 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). After the thirty day time frame 

expired and Plaintiff failed to respond to the Court’s order, Findings and Recommendations were 

issued recommending dismissal of the action. (ECF No. 17.) 

On March 4, 2015, Plaintiff filed objections to the Findings and Recommendations, along with 

a third amended complaint which was lodged by the Court. (ECF Nos. 18, 20.) In the interest of 

justice, the Court will vacate the Findings and Recommendations issued February 18, 2015, and order 

the third amended complaint to be filed by the Clerk of the Court. In a separate order issued 

concurrently herewith, the Court will screen the third amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

1915A.
