UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RODERICK WASHINGTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

EARLY, et. al.,

Defendants.

 /

CV F 03 5263 REC SMS P 

ORDER VACATING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS ISSUED MAY 23,

2006 (Doc. 62.) 

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

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On May 21, 2005, this Court dismissed the Amended Complaint with leave to Amend. 

Plaintiff submitted the Second Amended Complaint on May 12, 2006, however, it was lodged,

rather than filed. Thus, because no Second Amended Complaint appeared on the Court Docket,

the Court issued Findings Recommendations on June May 23, 2006, to dismiss the action for

Plaintiff’s failure to comply with a court order and state a claim for relief. The Court record now

reflects that the Second Amended Complaint was submitted and filed on May 12, 2006, albeit,

still untimely.

Accordingly, based on the above, the Court HEREBY VACATES the Findings and

Recommendations issued on May 23, 2006, and will proceed with the case in due course.

Plaintiff is reminded that when faced with a deadline which he will not be able to meet, the

appropriate course of action is to request an extension of time from the Court. Simply letting the

deadline pass without explanation or contact with the Court will cause the Court to Recommend

to dismiss for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff is reminded that pursuant to the Local Rules and the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, all pleadings filed with the Court must be served on the

opposing party or they will be stricken from the record. Local Rule 5-135(b); Fed.R.Civ.P. 5. 

The Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued May 23, 2006, are VACATED. 

The Court will proceed with the action in due course. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
