IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VERNON KITTLES, CASE NO. CV-F-05-1046 OWW DLB P

Plaintiff, ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION TO AMEND AS MOOT AND

GRANTING PLAINTIFF AN ADDITIONAL

30 DAYS IN WHICH TO FILE AN AMENDED

COMPLAINT

vs.

ROBERT HARO, et al.,

Defendants. [Doc. 16]

 /

Plaintiff Vernon Kittles is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil action seeking relief pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act. The Court originally opened

this case as one made pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of

Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), which provides a remedy for violation of civil rights by federal actors.

However, plaintiff has advised that he instead seeks relief pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act. See

Doc. No. 9. The case was transferred to this Court on August 15, 2005. On December 5, 2005, the

Court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and granted

plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint. On December 15, 2005, plaintiff filed a document entitled

“Motion to Amend.” However, plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint.

To the extent plaintiff’s December 15, 2005 filing is a request to file an amended complaint, such

request is unnecessary as the Court granted plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint by its December

5, 2005 order. To the extent plaintiff seeks additional time to file an amended complaint, this request

is granted. Plaintiff is granted an additional 30 days in which to file an amended complaint pursuant to

the Court’s December 5, 2005 order. If plaintiff fails to file an amended complaint, this action will be

dismissed for failure to obey a court order and failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
