IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TALIB IBN CHRISTENSEN, No. CIV S-05-2017-MCE-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

JEANNE WOODFORD, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

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

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 4, 2005, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint and

directed plaintiff to file a first amended complaint within 30 days. Plaintiff was warned that

failure to file an amended complaint may result in dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution

and failure to comply with court rules and orders. Plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint

and, on January 12, 2006, the court issued findings and recommendations that this action be

dismissed for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court orders and rules.

Plaintiff has filed objections to the findings and recommendations. In his

objections, plaintiff states that he never received the court’s November 4, 2005, order directing

him to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff has submitted a declaration from a prison staff

counselor indicating that plaintiff never received any legal mail in November 2005. 

Because it appears that plaintiff did not receive the court’s November 4, 2005,

order, and in the interest of justice, the court will vacate the January 12, 2006, findings and

recommendations. The court will direct that the November 4, 2005, order be re-served and will

provide plaintiff additional time to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff is again cautioned that

failure to file an amended complaint within the time provided in this order may result in the

dismissal of this action. See Local Rule 11-110. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The court’s January 12, 2006, findings and recommendations are vacated;

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to re-serve the court’s November 4,

2005, order on plaintiff; and

3. Plaintiff shall file a first amended complaint within 30 days of the date of

service of this order.

DATED: February 24, 2006.
