ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff, formerly confined in the Durango Jail in Phoenix has filed with the Clerk

of Court a pro se Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has previously been

granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and has been assessed the statutory filing fee of

$250.00. See Order (Doc. #6). Currently, the balance owed toward the filing fee is $250.00.

Plaintiff was cautioned that in the event of his release, Plaintiff would be required to pay in

full the remaining balance of the filing fee within 120 days of his release. Plaintiff was

warned that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this action unless Plaintiff

showed good cause in writing why he was unable to pay the remainder of the fee.

The record in this matter indicates that Plaintiff has now been released from custody.

He submitted an address change to a private residence in San Antonio, Texas. See Dkt. #4.

Accordingly, Plaintiff will be given 30 days in which to respond to this Order in writing.

Plaintiff’s response to this Order must include: (1) a statement of Plaintiff’s date of release

and his affirmation that he has paid or will pay the unpaid balance of the filing fee in full no

later than 120 days from the date of his release or (2) Plaintiff’s affidavit under penalty of

perjury demonstrating good cause why he is presently unable to pay the outstanding balance

of the filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. § 1746 (the oath requirement may be satisfied when a person

declares under penalty of perjury that the submission is true and correct, and signs and dates

the statement). This requirement is in addition to the Court’s earlier Order requiring him to

submit an Amended Complaint within thirty days. See Dkt. #5.

Plaintiff should take notice that if he fails to timely comply with every provision of

this Order, or any order entered in this matter, this action will be dismissed pursuant to Rule

41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258 (9th

Cir. 1992) (stating that a district court may dismiss action for failure to comply with any

order of the court). 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: 

(1) Plaintiff shall have 30 days from the date this Order is filed to file a response in

writing in compliance with this Order.

(2) The Clerk of Court is directed to enter dismissal of this action without prejudice

and without further notice to Plaintiff if Plaintiff fails to file a response within 30 days of the

date this Order is filed.

DATED this 10th day of December, 2005.
