UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARCHIE CRANFORD,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-00749 DLB PC

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER 

TO SHOW CAUSE

(Document 11)

Plaintiff Archie Cranford (“Plaintiff”), a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action on May 19, 2014.1 

On November 9, 2014, the Court dismissed the complaint with leave to amend. Plaintiff was 

given thirty (30) days within which to file an amended complaint. On November 19, 2014, Plaintiff 

filed a document captioned as a “motion to file an amended complaint.” The Court denied the 

motion on December 2, 2014, explaining that Plaintiff did not need leave to amend as he had not yet 

filed an amended complaint. The Court informed Plaintiff that the deadline established by the 

November 9, 2014, order remained in place.

On December 30, 2014, after the time for filing an amended complaint had passed, the Court 

issued an order to show cause why the action should not be dismissed for failure to follow a Court 

order and failure to prosecute. 

On January 15, 2015, Plaintiff complied with the order by filing his amended complaint. 

Accordingly, the order to show cause is DISCHARGED. Plaintiff’s amended complaint will 

be screened in due course.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
