UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

AARON LAMONT STRIBLING,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. ROWE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-01277-YGR (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On October 14, 2016, the Court issued an Order of Dismissal with Leave to Amend. 

Specifically, the Court granted Plaintiff twenty-eight days from the date of the Order to amend his 

complaint to give him an opportunity to prove that he exhausted all of his claims against each 

Defendant. Plaintiff was warned that the failure to timely file an amended complaint would result 

in the dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute. The time for Plaintiff to file his amended 

complaint has passed, and no amended complaint has been filed. Taking into account the salient 

factors set forth in Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992), the Court finds that 

dismissal is warranted under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 1See Yourish v. Cal. 

Amplifier, 191 F.3d 983, 989, 992 (9th Cir. 1999) (affirming dismissal of action following 

plaintiff's failure to amend complaint after receiving leave to do so, where the interest in 

expeditious resolution of litigation, the court's management of its docket, and avoiding prejudice 

to defendants favored dismissal).

 If and when Plaintiff is prepared to pursue his claims, he may file a new civil rights 

action. The limitations period to file a section 1983 action in California is two years, but it is 

tolled for up to two years during a continuous period of incarceration. See Silva v. Crain, 169 F. 

3d 608, 610 (9th Cir. 1999) (holding, pursuant to Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 340(3), that the 

limitations period for filing a section 1983 action in California is one year); S.B. 688 (amending 

Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 340(3) and adding section 335.1 to establish two-year residual limitations 

period for personal injury actions); Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 352.1(a) (providing for an additional 

two years of tolling during a period of continual imprisonment).
