Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:09-cv-01476-AWI-SKO PC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR

PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO OBEY A COURT

ORDER

Plaintiff Edward Ortega (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

action. This action was removed to this Court from the Fresno County Superior Court on August

20, 2009. (Doc. #1.) On September 18, 2009, Plaintiff filed a motion opposing removal. (Doc. #5.) 

On April 1, 2010, the Court ruled on Plaintiff’s motion and found that it was unclear whether the

Court had jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s claims. (Doc. #7.) The Court ordered Plaintiff to file an

amended complaint that clearly stated whether Plaintiff’s causes of action arise under state law or

under federal law. Plaintiff was ordered to file his amended complaint within thirty (30) days of the

date of service of the Court’s April 1, 2010 order. Plaintiff has not filed his amended complaint.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff SHOW CAUSE within thirty (30) 

days of the date of service of this order why this action should not be dismissed for Plaintiff’s failure

to obey the Court’s order and for Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute this action.

The failure to respond to this order will result in this action being dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
