 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALFRED SANTOS ROCHA,

Plaintiff,

v.

KERN COUNTY OFFICER REED,

Defendant.

 /

CASE NO. 1:07-CV-01149-SMS 

ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT FOR

FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM UPON

WHICH RELIEF MAY BE GRANTED

(Doc. 10)

Plaintiff Alfred Rocha is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. In a

complaint filed August 8, 2007 (Doc. 1), Plaintiff alleged that a Kern County Sheriff’s

Department officer used excessive force when arresting Plaintiff on December 31, 2005. 

Plaintiff consented to the jurisdiction of a U.S. Magistrate Judge on April 8, 2009 (Doc. 9).

On April 1, 2010, this Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state any claim

upon which relief may be granted, and granted Plaintiff leave to amend his complaint within thirty

days (Doc. 10). Plaintiff neither filed an amended complaint nor responded to the Court’s order in

any other way. As a result, no pleading remains on file which sets forth any claims upon which

relief may be granted under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
