CHARLES ANTHONY BROOKS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHARLES EDWARDS BROOKS,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02192-DMR 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE FOR FAILURE TO

PROSECUTE

On July 22, 2015, the court granted Plaintiff Charles Anthony Brooks’s application to 

proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) and dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend. 

[Docket No. 9.] The court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by no later than August 

12, 2015. The Clerk served the court’s July 22, 2015 order on Plaintiff at the address he provided 

to the Court when he filed his complaint. [Docket No. 9-1.] Plaintiff did not file an amended 

complaint.

The court received a letter from Plaintiff on August 14, 2015 in which he represented that 

he was arrested on July 6, 2015 and had been incarcerated since that date. [Docket No. 10.] Since 

it appeared that Plaintiff had not received the court’s July 22, 2015 order, the court issued an order 

on August 24, 2015 ordering Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by September 8, 2015. 

[Docket No. 12.] The Clerk served the August 24, 2015 order, along with the original July 22, 

2015 order, on Plaintiff at his updated address. [Docket 12-1.] The court noted that Plaintiff’s 

failure to file an amended complaint by September 8, 2015 may result in dismissal of this action. 

On September 4, 2015, the court’s August 24, 2015 order was returned to the court as 

undeliverable, and Plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint by the September 8, 2015
