Case No. 1:16-cv-00365 DLB

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER 

TO SHOW CAUSE 

(Document 10)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

Plaintiff Marcus Carter (“Plaintiff”), a state inmate in the custody of the California 

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”), is proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on 

March 8, 2016.

1

On June 8, 2016, the Court screened the complaint and ordered Plaintiff to either file an 

amended complaint, or notify the Court of his willingness to proceed only on the cognizable 

claim. Pursuant to that order, an amended complaint was due within thirty (30) days. 

On July 25, 2016, after the time for filing an amended complaint had passed, the Court 

issued an order to show cause why the action should not be dismissed for failure to follow a Court 

order and failure to prosecute.

On August 25, 2016, Plaintiff filed a response to the order. It appears that Plaintiff 

attempted to timely file his amended complaint, but it was returned to him by the Clerk’s Office 

 

1

Plaintiff consented to the jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge on March 21, 2016.

with instructions to use the e-filing system. Plaintiff then tried to do so, but the prison librarian 

inadvertently filed the document in the Sacramento division of this Court. For good cause, the 

order to show cause is DISCHARGED.

Plaintiff SHALL file his amended complaint within thirty (30) days of the date of service 

of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
