UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAFONZO R. TURNER,

Plaintiff,

v.

SINGH, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-0954 DC SCR P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C.

§1983. In an order filed October 4, 2024, this court found plaintiff stated cognizable claims for 

retaliation against defendants Singh and Willis and for violation of the Americans with 

Disabilities Act (“ADA”) against all defendants. (ECF No. 30.) This court further found plaintiff 

stated no other cognizable claims for relief. Plaintiff was given the option of proceeding 

immediately on his retaliation and ADA claims, and dismissing his other claims, or filing a 

second amended complaint. The court provided plaintiff with a form to be returned within 

twenty-one days to notify the court of his choice. 

Twenty-one days have passed and plaintiff has not filed the form notifying the court how 

he wishes to proceed. Nor has plaintiff otherwise responded to the October 4 order. In the 

October 4 order, this court warned plaintiff that if he failed to comply with the order, this court 

may recommend this case be dismissed.

Plaintiff will be given one more opportunity to file the form notifying the court how he 

wishes to proceed in this case. If plaintiff fails to file a timely notice, this court will recommend 

this case be dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court orders. 

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41; E.D. Cal. R. 110.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within fourteen (14) days of the date of 

this order, plaintiff shall file the form notifying the court whether he wishes to proceed now on 

his retaliation and ADA claims or whether he wishes to file a second amended complaint. 

Dated: November 22, 2024
