UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff is proceeding on the First Amended Complaint against Defendants I. Vargas and 

T. Davies for retaliation in violation of the First Amendment. The defendants filed a motion for 

motion for summary judgment and asset that the plaintiff failed to exhaust administrative 

remedies prior to filing suit is pending. (Docs. 34.) The Court granted the plaintiff’s request to 

open discovery on the issue of exhaustion on April 13, 2016. (Doc. 38.) The order that granted 

Plaintiff’s request set forth specific parameters as to what discovery was allowed, set a deadline 

for the completion of the discovery, and ordered the plaintiff to file an opposition or a statement 

of non-opposition to the motion by July 12, 2016. (Id.) 

Two months after that deadline, the Court ordered the plaintiff to show cause why the 

action should not be dismissed for his failure to prosecute the action and to obey the Court’s 

order. (Doc. 39.) Plaintiff responded to the OSC by stating that he had not received a copy of 

Defendants’ renewed motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 40.)
