UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSE GONZALEZ, JR., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CATE, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:11-cv-3196-GEB-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On September 7, 2016, the court dismissed plaintiff’s third amended complaint 

and granted plaintiff thirty days to file an amended complaint. ECF No. 85. The time for acting 

has passed, and plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint or otherwise responded to the court’s 

order. 

 A party’s failure to comply with any order or with the Local Rules “may be grounds for 

imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the 

inherent power of the Court.” E.D. Cal. Local Rule 110. The court may recommend that an 

action be dismissed with or without prejudice, as appropriate, if a party disobeys an order or the 

Local Rules. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1263 (9th Cir. 1992) (district court did not 

abuse discretion in dismissing pro se plaintiff’s complaint for failing to obey an order to re-file an 

amended complaint to comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure); Carey v. King, 856 F.2d

1439, 1440-41 (9th Cir. 1988) (dismissal for pro se plaintiff’s failure to comply with local rule 

regarding notice of change of address affirmed). 

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that if plaintiff wishes to proceed with this action, he 

shall, within 14 days of the date of this order, file an amended complaint in accordance with the 

court’s September 7, 2016 order. Failure to do so may result in a recommendation that this action 

be dismissed. 

DATED: October 17, 2016.
