UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ISAAC HUDSON, JR.,

Plaintiff,

et al.,

Defendants.

complaint was unintelligible, and the Court gave Hudson three weeks to amend his

complaint. (Docket No. 3.) Instead of filing an amended complaint, Hudson filed a notice

of appeal on July 1, 2014. On July 7, 2014, the Court certified that the appeal was not taken

The Ninth Circuit determined that it lacked jurisdiction and dismissed Hudson’s appeal on

August 27, 2014. (Docket no. 11.)

To date, Hudson has not filed an amended complaint or a request for extension of
