TROY KING,

Plaintiff,

v.

HOSPITAL COURIERS NEVADA LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 4:18-cv-06225-KAW 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Re: Dkt. No. 8

On October 11, 2018, Plaintiff Troy King filed this case against Defendant Hospital 

Couriers Nevada, LLC. (Dkt. No. 1.) Plaintiff also moved to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP 

Application"). (Dkt. No. 4.) On October 26, 2018, the Court granted Plaintiff's IFP Application. 

(Dkt. No. 5.) Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), the Court then screened Plaintiff's complaint 

and found it deficient, finding that Plaintiff had failed to set forth a "short and plain statement of 

the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief" and that Plaintiff had failed to establish 

subject matter jurisdiction. (Dkt. No. 8.) The Court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint 

that provided the legal and factual basis for all claims by January 25, 2019. Id. at 3. The Court 

warned that failure to do so would result in the case being reassigned to a district judge with the 

recommendation that the case be dismissed. Id. To date, Plaintiff has not filed an amended 

complaint.

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause, by March 15, 2019, why the 

Plaintiff's case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, and why he did not file the 

amended complaint by January 25, 2019. Additionally, Plaintiff shall file his first amended 

complaint. Failure to respond to the order to show cause and file the first amended complaint by 

the deadline will result in the Court reassigning the case to a district judge with the
