NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANCISCO JAVIER ZARAGOZA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CONWAY,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-04272-YGR (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On October 28, 2019, the Court issued an Order of Dismissal With Leave to Amend. 

Specifically, the Court granted Plaintiff twenty-eight days from the date of the Order to file an 

amended complaint to correct deficiencies in his original complaint. Plaintiff was warned that the 

failure to timely file an amended complaint would result in the dismissal of this action. The time 

for Plaintiff to file his amended complaint has passed, and no amended complaint has been filed. 

Taking into account the salient factors set forth in Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th 

Cir. 1992), the Court finds that dismissal is warranted under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

41(b).1 See Yourish v. Cal. Amplifier, 191 F.3d 983, 989, 992 (9th Cir. 1999) (affirming dismissal 

of action following plaintiff's failure to amend complaint after receiving leave to do so, where the 

interest in expeditious resolution of litigation, the court's management of its docket, and avoiding 

prejudice to defendants favored dismissal). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the complaint in the above-captioned

action is DISMISSED.

 If and when Plaintiff is prepared to pursue his claims, he may file a new civil rights 

action. The limitations period to file a section 1983 action in California is two years, but it is 

tolled for up to two years during a continuous period of incarceration. See Silva v. Crain, 169 F. 

3d 608, 610 (9th Cir. 1999) (holding, pursuant to Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 340(3), that the 

limitations period for filing a section 1983 action in California is one year); S.B. 688 (amending 

Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 340(3) and adding section 335.1 to establish two-year residual limitations 

period for personal injury actions); Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 352.1(a) (providing for an additional 

two years of tolling during a period of continual imprisonment).
