Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 28, 2015, plaintiff filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. 

(ECF No. 1.) On January 14, 2016, the undersigned denied the motion for injunctive relief, and 

ordered plaintiff to file a complaint within thirty days. (ECF No. 3.) On February 16, 2016, 

plaintiff filed an amended complaint. (ECF No. 5.) The amended complaint is pending before 

the court.

issues will be lost for lack of prosecution.

Plaintiff is informed that the court has reviewed the amended complaint and finds that it
