IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID C. RIVERS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-2524 GEB PAN P

vs.

E. ROSZKO, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, formerly a state prisoner, is proceeding pro se with a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On April 28, 2005, the court gave plaintiff thirty days to complete and return

sufficient USM-285 forms and copies of the endorsed complaint so defendants could be served

with process. Plaintiff failed to comply with this order and so on March 8, 2006, the court gave

plaintiff twenty days to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for plaintiff’s failure

to prosecute. On March 27, 2006, plaintiff submitted eight copies of the complaint without any

USM-285 forms or a completed summons. He also requested an extension of time so he could

find an attorney.

DATED: May 17, 2006.
