NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES ANTHONY BROOKS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHARLES EDWARDS BROOKS,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02192-DMR 

ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE TO 

FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT

On May 15, 2015, Plaintiff Charles Anthony Brooks filed suit in this Court along with an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). [Docket Nos. 1, 2.] On July 22, 2015, the court 

granted the IFP application and dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend, ordering 

Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by no later than August 12, 2015. [Docket No. 9.] The 

Clerk served the court’s July 22, 2015 order on Plaintiff at the address he provided to the Court 

when he filed his complaint. [Docket No. 9-1.] Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint.

On August 14, 2015, after the deadline to file an amended complaint had passed, Plaintiff 

filed a letter to the court dated August 5, 2015. In the letter, Plaintiff represents that he was 

arrested on July 6, 2015 and has been incarcerated since that date, and asks for mail to be sent to 

the correctional facility where he is incarcerated. [Docket No. 10.] It appears that Plaintiff did not 

receive the court’s July 22, 2015 letter. Although it is Plaintiff’s responsibility to promptly notify 

the court of his mailing address, the court will allow Plaintiff an additional two weeks in which to 

file an amended complaint. Therefore, Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint by no later than 

September 8, 2015. Failure to file an amended complaint by September 8, 2015 may result 

in dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute. The court orders the Clerk to serve a copy of 

this order along with its July 22, 2015 order on Plaintiff at his updated address.
