IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN ERIC CHATMON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1593 GEB EFB P

vs.

BERRY, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel suing for alleged civil rights violations. See 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On October 10, 2007, the court found that plaintiff had failed to file an amended

complaint as directed by the court’s March 27, 2007, order, and recommended dismissal of the

action. On October 25, 2007, plaintiff filed objections. By order filed November 20, 2007,

plaintiff was granted 30 days’ leave to file an amended complaint. The thirty day period has

now expired, and plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. On December 7, 2007, plaintiff

filed a letter requesting “postponement” of all of his civil cases because he is without his legal

property. Plaintiff has had nine months in which to file his amended complaint. He has not

shown good cause for his failure to do so despite numerous opportunities and generous

extensions of time. The court will not grant further extensions of time.
