UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARCHIE CRANFORD,

Plaintiff,

v.

LAURA NARWARECE,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00954-DAD-BAM (PC)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS 

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED, 

WITH PREJUDICE, FOR FAILURE TO 

STATE A CLAIM, FAILURE TO OBEY A 

COURT ORDER, AND FAILURE TO 

PROSECUTE

(ECF No. 9)

TWENTY (20) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Archie Cranford (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on July 5, 

2016. (ECF No. 1.)

On January 13, 2017, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend 

within thirty (30) days. (ECF No. 9.) The Court expressly warned Plaintiff that the failure to file 

an amended complaint in compliance with the Court’s order would result in this action being 

dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to state a claim and failure to obey a court order. (Id. at 5.) 

The deadline for Plaintiff to file an amended complaint has passed, and he has not complied with 

or otherwise responded to the Court’s order.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff shall show cause in writing, within 

twenty (20) days of service of this order, why this action should not be dismissed, with prejudice,

failure to prosecute. Plaintiff can comply with this order to show cause by filing a first amended 

complaint. The failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this action, 

with prejudice, for failure to state a claim, failure to obey a court order, and failure to 

prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
