IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES ex rel. Samuel J. May,

Plaintiff,

 v.

AMGEN INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 10-02577 WHA

ORDER DENYING MOTION

TO REOPEN CASE

This action was assigned to Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman. Judge Zimmerman

informed the relator, Samuel May, that he could not proceed pro se in this False Claims Act,

and he was given two extensions of the deadline to retain counsel. See Stoner v. Santa Clara

County Off. of Educ., 502 F.3d 1116, 1126 (9th Cir. 2007). After the second deadline lapsed,

Judge Zimmerman dismissed the action for failure to prosecute. Four years later, May now

seeks to reopen the case to hold an evidentiary hearing to determine his share of a purportedly

related case. May has still not retained counsel, and his filings are untimely and plainly

frivolous.

May’s motions to reopen the case and hold an evidentiary hearing are DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
