Plaintiff Jason Scheiding (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

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

January 27, 2016. (ECF No. 1.)

On November 16, 2016, the Court issued a screening order dismissing Plaintiff’s 

complaint with leave to amend within thirty (30) days. (ECF No. 17.) 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 for failure to obey a court order and failure to 

state a claim. (Id. at 7.) The deadline for Plaintiff to file an amended complaint has expired, and 

he has not complied with or otherwise responded to the Court’s order.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that Plaintiff shall show cause in writing, 

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