UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSE GOMEZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SANDERS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-0480-GEB-CMK-P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to Eastern 

District of California local rules. 

 On March 30, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed findings and recommendations 

herein which were served on the parties and which contained notice that the parties may file 

objections within a specified time. No objections to the findings and recommendations have been 

filed. However, apparently in lieu of objections, plaintiff filed a proposed second amended and a 

belated opposition to the motion to dismiss. Plaintiff acknowledges the deficiencies in his 

complaint and indicates no opposition to the motion to dismiss, but has requested leave to file an 

amended complaint. While plaintiff’s second amended complaint was filed prematurely, filed 

prior to the actual dismissal of his first amended complaint, leave to file an amended complaint 

was recommended and will be granted. As such, defendants will be required to respond to the

second amended complaint (Doc. 35) within 30 days of the date of this order. 

 The court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to be 

supported by the record and by the Magistrate Judge’s analysis. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. The findings and recommendations filed March 30, 2014, are adopted in full; 

2. Defendants’ motion to dismiss (Doc. 16) is granted; 

3. Plaintiff’s motion to file an amended complaint (Doc. 28) is granted; 

4. Plaintiff’s second amended complaint (Doc. 35) is considered timely filed; 

5. Plaintiff’s motions for additional time to file an amended complaint (Docs. 30, 

34) are denied as unnecessary; 

6. Defendants shall respond to the second amended complaint within 30 days of 

the date of this order; and 

7. This matter is referred back to the magistrate judge for further proceedings. 

Dated: September 23, 2015
