IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNY CALIHAN,

Plaintiff, 1: 09 cv 01373 MJS PC 

vs. ORDER RE MOTION

(Doc. 24)

D. ADAMS, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is Plaintiff’s motion titled “motion to

seek when the defendants will be served with the complaint.” 

On January 8, 2010, an order was entered granting Plaintiff’s motion to amend the

complaint and giving Plaintiff thirty days in which to file an amended complaint. No amended

complaint has yet been filed.

Instead, on January 20, 2010, Plaintiff filed the instant motion seeking to have defendants

served with the original complaint. Plaintiff has not, however, clearly indicated an intent to

1

withdraw his motion to file an amended complaint. The court will grant Plaintiff thirty days in

which to file an amended complaint in compliance with the January 8, 2010 order. If Plaintiff

does not do so, his failure to file an amended complaint will be construed as a withdrawal of the

motion for leave to file an amended complaint. This action will then proceed on the original

complaint. The court will screen the original complaint and direct service of process upon any

defendant against whom a claim is stated.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s January 20, 2010, motion seeking service on defendants, is conditionally

granted as provided above.

2. Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of service of this order in which to file an

amended complaint in compliance with the order of January 8, 2010.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
