CDCR, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00415-DLB PC

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER 

TO SHOW CAUSE 

(Document 15)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST 

TO CONSOLIDATE CASES AS MOOT

(Document 16-1)

Plaintiff Frank Lee Dearwester (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se in 

this civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on February 26, 2015, and it 

was transferred to this Court on March 16, 2015. 

On March 20, 2015, the Court struck Plaintiff’s complaint as unsigned an ordered him to file 

a signed complaint within thirty (30) days of the date of service. 

After the deadline passed, the Court issued an order to show cause on May 18, 2015.

On June 5, 2015, Plaintiff filed a response to the order to show cause and a request to 

consolidate this action with 1:15-cv-00621-SKO (PC). Based on his response, it appears that 

Plaintiff’s amended complaint was filed in a new action. Plaintiff now requests to consolidate the 

two actions.

On June 9, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to consolidate in 1:15-cv-00621-SKO 

(PC) and dismissed the action as duplicative. The Court ordered the Clerk to file the amended 

complaint into the instant action.

Accordingly, the order to show cause is DISCHARGED and Plaintiff’s request to consolidate 

the actions is DENIED AS MOOT. Plaintiff’s June 9, 2015, First Amended Complaint will be 

screened in due course.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
