UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KYLE STEVEN MARTIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

SANDRA PENNYWELL, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE No. 1:13-cv-01281-MJS

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE AND DENYING MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME AS MOOT

(ECF Nos. 8 & 11)

Plaintiff Kyle Steven Martin is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No. 5.) On August 30, 2013, Plaintiff’s 

Complaint was screened and dismissed, with leave to amend, for failure to state a 

cognizable claim. (ECF No. 7.) Plaintiff’s was given thirty days to file an amended 

pleading. The deadline passed without Plaintiff filing an amended complaint or a request 

for an extension of time to do so.

On October 28, 2013, the Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to show cause

within fourteen days why his case should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the 

Court’s August 30, 2013 order. (ECF No. 8.)

On November 6, 2013, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint and a motion seeking 

an extension of time to comply with any outstanding deadlines. Filing the First Amended 

Complaint satisfied Plaintiff’s only outstanding deadline in this case. The Motion for 

Case 1:13-cv-01281-AWI-MJS Document 12 Filed 11/26/13 Page 1 of 2

6(b); Local Rules 144, 230.

1. The October 28, 2013 Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 8) is discharged;

and 

2. Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time (ECF No. 11) is denied as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
