IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEITH THOMAS,

Plaintiff, CV F 06 0562 AWI WMW P

vs. ORDER RE MOTION (DOC 3 )

M. VELLA, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Pending before the court is

Plaintiff’s motion for leave to file an amended complaint. On October 12, 2006, findings and

recommendations were entered, recommending dismissal for failure to obey a court order to pay

the filing fee in full. The recommendation was based on a review of the original complaint. 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a), Plaintiff may amend his complaint once, so

long as a responsive pleading has not been filed. No responsive pleading has been filed in this

case.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The October 12, 2006, findings and recommendations are vacated.

2. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to file an amended complaint is granted. Plaintiff

is granted thirty days from the date of service of this order to file a first amended complaint that

complies with the requirements of the Civil Rights Act, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
