UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID FUENTES, SR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

MULE CREEK STATE PRISON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-0386 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. On March 9, 

2023, plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed, and he was granted thirty days in which to file an 

amended complaint. On April 5, 2023, plaintiff submitted a document which appears to be a 

photocopy of the first five pages of his original complaint. The sixth page is a copy of the 

signature page from his request to proceed in forma pauperis. (Compare ECF No. 2 at 2 to ECF 

No. 5 at 6). Plaintiff is advised that the April 5, 2023 filing is not a complete pleading and does 

not comply with the March 9, 2023 order.

Plaintiff is granted thirty days in which to file an amended complaint that is complete and 

complies with the March 9, 2023 order. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to timely comply with 

these court orders will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s April 5, 2023 filing (ECF No. 6) is stricken as incomplete and improper. 

2. Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete the attached 

Notice of Amendment and submit the following documents to the court:

a. The completed Notice of Amendment; and

b. An original of the Amended Complaint.

Plaintiff’s amended complaint shall comply with the March 9, 2023 order, the requirements of the 

Civil Rights Act, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Local Rules of Practice. The 

amended complaint must also bear the docket number assigned to this case and must be labeled 

“Amended Complaint.” 

Failure to file an amended complaint in accordance with this order will result in a 

recommendation that this action be dismissed. 

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff the form for filing a civil rights 

complaint by a prisoner.

Dated: April 20, 2023
