UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEROY HAWKINS, JR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al,

Defendants. 

_____________________________/

1:09-cv-01705-MJS (PC)

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO

SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE SHOULD NOT

BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY

WITH COURT ORDER

(ECF No. 17)

Plaintiff Leroy Hawkins (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on September 28, 2009. Plaintiff has consented

to the Magistrate Judge handling all matters in this action. (ECF No. 4.)

On February 27, 2012, the Court filed an order, dismissing Plaintiff’s complaint with

leave to amend. (ECF No. 15.) Plaintiff’s amended complaint was due on March 31, 2012. 

(Id.) After this deadline passed without Plaintiff having complied with or even responded

to the Court’s order, the Court on April 16, 2012, ordered Plaintiff to show cause within

thirty days why his action should not be dismissed. (ECF No. 17.) Plaintiff filed a response

on April 25, 2012. (ECF No. 18.) Although untimely, the Court has considered the merits

of Plaintiff’s response and, based on Plaintiff’s representations therein, will exercise

leniency and discharge the order to show cause.
