IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL HUFTILE,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-0604 DFL JFM P

vs.

JACK VOGNSEN, Ph.D., ORDER

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff is in custody at Coalinga State Hospital pursuant to California’s Sexually

Violent Predators Act, Welfare and Institutions Code § 6600, et seq. Plaintiff is proceeding pro

se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On

October 24, 2005, plaintiff’s second amended complaint was dismissed and he was granted leave

to file a third amended complaint. Plaintiff failed to file a third amended complaint by

November 24, 2005, and on December 6, 2005, findings and recommendations issued 

recommending that this action be dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to amend.

On December 19, 2005, plaintiff filed objections to the findings and

recommendations in which he alleges he mailed his third amended complaint to the court on

October 29, 2005. Plaintiff filed a copy of his third amended complaint with his objections.

Because it appears plaintiff attempted to timely file his third amended complaint, the findings

and recommendations will be vacated. 

Paintiff’s 31 page third amended complaint, however, is practically verbatim of

his 31 page second amended complaint, with the exception of the revised title and different

signature date. Plaintiff has not complied with the provisions of this court’s October 24, 2005

order, which the court will not repeat here. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to timely file a

properly revised fourth amended complaint that comports with the October 24, 2005 order will

result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The December 6, 2005 findings and recommendations are granted;

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a copy of this court’s

October 24, 2005 order;

3. Plaintiff’s December 19, 2005 third amended complaint is dismissed; 

4. Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of service of this order to file a

fourth amended complaint that complies with this court’s October 24, 2005 order, the

requirements of the Civil Rights Act, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Local Rules

of Practice; the fourth amended complaint must bear the docket number assigned this case and

must be labeled “Fourth Amended Complaint”; plaintiff must file an original and two copies of

the fourth amended complaint; failure to file a fourth amended complaint in accordance with this

order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.

DATED: February 1, 2006.
