No. CV 09-2179-PHX-RCB (DKD)

ORDER

Plaintiff James K. Trueman, who is confined in the Saguaro Correctional Center

(SCC), a Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) facility in Eloy, Arizona, filed a pro

se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the District of Hawaii. The District

of Hawaii subsequently transferred the case to this District as the proper venue. In an Order

filed June 15, 2010, the Court dismissed the Complaint with leave to amend within 30 days.

(Doc. 11.) Plaintiff has filed a motion for a 30 day extension of the deadline to file an

amended complaint due to limited library access. (Doc. 14.) The Court will grant Plaintiff

an extension until August 16, 2010 within which to file a first amended complaint in

compliance with the June 15, 2010 Order.

Warnings

A. Release

Plaintiff must pay the unpaid balance of the filing fee within 120 days of his release.

Also, within 30 days of his release, he must either (1) notify the Court that he intends to pay

the balance or (2) show good cause, in writing, why he cannot. Failure to comply may result

in dismissal of this action.

B. Address Changes

Plaintiff must file and serve a notice of a change of address in accordance with Rule

83.3(d) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff must not include a motion for other

relief with a notice of change of address. Failure to comply may result in dismissal of this

action.

C. Copies

Plaintiff must submit an additional copy of every filing for use by the Court. See

LRCiv 5.4. Failure to comply may result in the filing being stricken without further notice

to Plaintiff.

D. Possible “Strike”

Because the Complaint has been dismissed for failure to state a claim, if Plaintiff fails

to file an amended complaint correcting the deficiencies identified in the Order filed on June

15, 2010, the dismissal may count as a “strike” under the “3-strikes” provision of 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(g). Under the 3-strikes provision, a prisoner may not bring a civil action or appeal

a civil judgment in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 “if the prisoner has, on 3 or more

prior occasions, while incarcerated or detained in any facility, brought an action or appeal

in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the grounds that it is frivolous,

malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the prisoner is

under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). 

E. Possible Dismissal

If Plaintiff fails to timely comply with every provision of this Order and the Order

filed June 15, 2010, doc. 11, and these warnings, the Court may dismiss this action without

further notice. See Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1260-61 (a district court may dismiss an action for

failure to comply with any order of the Court).

IT IS ORDERED: 

(1) Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to comply with the June 15, 2010

Order, doc. 11, is granted to the extent set forth below. (Doc. 14.) 

(2) Plaintiff is granted until August 16, 2010 in which to file a first amended

complaint in compliance with the June 15, 2010 Order.

(3) If Plaintiff fails to file an amended complaint by August 16, 2010, the Clerk

of Court must, without further notice, enter a judgment of dismissal of this action with

prejudice that states that the dismissal may count as a “strike” under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

DATED this 25th day of July, 2010.
