ORDER VACATING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATION TO DISMISS 

ACTION FOR FAILURE TO STATE A 

CLAIM

Plaintiff Lamar Johnson (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action.

 On January 8, 2015, Plaintiffs William Stafford and Lamar Johnson filed a civil rights 

action in case number 1:15-cv-00038 LJO DLB PC. On September 2, 2015, the Court screened 

the complaint and issued an order dismissing the complaint, severing Plaintiffs’ claims, and 

directing the Clerk’s Office to open a new action for Plaintiff Johnson. On that same date, the 

Clerk’s Office opened the instant case with Plaintiff Johnson as the sole plaintiff. Plaintiff was 

directed to file an amended complaint within thirty days of the date of service of the order. Over 

thirty days passed and Plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint. In the Court’s order 

directing Plaintiff to file an amended complaint, the Court expressly stated: “If a Plaintiff fails to 

file an amended complaint in compliance with this order, his action will be dismissed, with 

prejudice, for failure to state a claim.”

Therefore, on October 7, 2015, the Court issued a Findings and Recommendation to 

dismiss the action for failure to state a claim. Plaintiff was granted fourteen days to file 

objections.

On October 13, 2015, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint in compliance with the 

Court’s previous order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Findings and Recommendation issued 

on October 7, 2015, is VACATED. The First Amended Complaint will be screened in due 

course.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
