MOSES JESUS DURON,

Plaintiff,

v.

KEVIN YAU, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01908-YGR (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE

On October 7, 2015, the Court issued an Order of Dismissal With Leave to Amend. 

Specifically, the Court granted Plaintiff twenty-eight days from the date of the Order to file an 

amended complaint to correct the deficiencies of his deliberate indifference claim against 

Defendants. Plaintiff was also instructed that he shall not allege only negligence by any Defendant 

in responding to his medical condition because such a claim does not violate a prisoner’s Eighth 

Amendment rights. Plaintiff was warned that the failure to timely file an amended complaint would 

result in the dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute. The time for Plaintiff to file his 

amended complaint has passed, and no amended complaint has been filed. Taking into account the 

salient factors set forth in Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992), the Court finds 

that dismissal is warranted under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).1See Yourish v. Cal. 

Amplifier, 191 F.3d 983, 989, 992 (9th Cir. 1999) (affirming dismissal of action following plaintiff’s 

failure to amend complaint after receiving leave to do so, where the interest in expeditious resolution 

of litigation, the court’s management of its docket, and avoiding prejudice to defendants favored

If and when Plaintiff is prepared to pursue his claims, he may file a new civil rights 

action. The limitations period to file a section 1983 action in California is two years, but it is 

tolled for up to two years during a continuous period of incarceration. See Silva v. Crain, 169 F. 

3d 608, 610 (9th Cir. 1999) (holding, pursuant to Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 340(3), that the 

limitations period for filing a section 1983 action in California is one year); S.B. 688 (amending 

Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 340(3) and adding section 335.1 to establish two-year residual limitations 

period for personal injury actions); Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 352.1(a) (providing for an additional 

two years of tolling during a period of continual imprisonment).
