No. C 13-03348 EJD (PR)

ORDER VACATING ORDER OF

DISMISSAL; ORDERING CLERK TO

REOPEN THIS ACTION; AND

GRANTING LEAVE TO FILE FIRST

AMENDED COMPLAINT

Plaintiff, a state prisoner at Correctional Training Facility - Soledad (“CTFSoledad”), filed a letter on July 18, 2013, which initiated this civil rights action under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. The action was dismissed on October 17, 2013, due to Plaintiff's failure to

file a proper complaint in the time provided. In the interest of justice, the Court granted

Plaintiff an opportunity to have the matter reopened upon filing of a proper complaint. 

On December 6, 2013, Plaintiff filed a complaint seeking an "emergency" preliminary

injunction prohibiting prison officials at CTF-Soledad from transferring Plaintiff to

another facility. (Docket No. 17.) On August 21, 2014, the Court ordered Plaintiff to file

with the Court a notice of his current address and his continued intent to prosecute. 

(Docket No. 18.) On October 17, 2014, Plaintiff filed notice of his intent to prosecute and

sought to file an amended complaint. (Docket No. 19.) The Court construes this notice

as a motion to reopen the action and for leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff’s

motion is GRANTED. 

The October 17, 2013 Order of Dismissal and Judgment are vacated and the Clerk

shall reopen this case. Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint no later than thirty (30)

days from the date of this Order. The amended complaint must include the caption and

civil case number used in this order (13-03348 EJD (PR)) and the words FIRST

AMENDED COMPLAINT on the first page. Because an amended complaint completely

replaces the previous complaints, Plaintiff must include in his amended complaint all the

claims he wishes to present and all of the defendants he wishes to sue. See Ferdik v.

Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1262 (9th Cir. 1992). Plaintiff may not incorporate material

from the prior complaint by reference. Claims and defendants not included in the First

Amended Complaint will not be considered by the Court. See King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d

565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987). Failure to file respond in accordance with this court order

in the time provided will result in the dismissal without prejudice of this action

without further notice to Plaintiff.

It is Plaintiff’s responsibility to prosecute this case. Plaintiff must keep the court

informed of any change of address and must comply with the court’s orders in a timely

fashion. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
