UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD ALAN LAWSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

SHERIFF DONALD YOUNGBLOOD, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:09-cv-992-MJS (PC)

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE SHOULD NOT

BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY

WITH COURT ORDER

(ECF No. 18)

Plaintiff Richard Alan Lawson (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on June 8, 2009. Plaintiff has

consented to the Magistrate Judge handling all matters in this action. (ECF No. 5.)

On June 14, 2011, the Court filed an order, granting Plaintiff’s motion for an

extension of time to file a second amended complaint. (ECF No. 17.) Plaintiff’s second

complaint was due on July 5, 2011. (Id.) After this deadline passed without Plaintiff

complying with or even responding to the Court’s order, the Court on July 27, 2011

ordered Plaintiff to show cause within thirty days why this action should not be dismissed.

(ECF No. 18.) Plaintiff filed a response on September 6, 2009. (ECF No. 19.) Although

untimely, the Court has considered the merits of Plaintiff’s response and, based on

Plaintiff’s representations therein, will exercise leniency and discharge the order to show

cause.
