IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JESSE G. SWAFFORD, No. 2:13-cv-1944-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

SACRAMENTO COUNTY MAIN JAIL,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

636(c) and no other party has been served or appeared in the action. 

The court issued an order to show cause on June 24, 2015, requiring plaintiff to

show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to identify the appropriate

defendant to this action in, file an amended complaint, and serve the complaint on the identified

defendant. Plaintiff was warned that failure to identify the appropriate defendant in order for this

case to proceed may result in dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution and failure to

comply with court rules and orders. See Local Rule 110. To date, plaintiff has not filed a

response to the order to show cause.
