1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 DONALD WILLIAMS, 12 Plaintiff, 13 14 No. CIV S-10-3406-CMK-P vs. ORDER ALLEN SOBEL, et al., 15 Defendants. 16 / 17 Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 18 42 U.S.C. § 1983, challenging a prison disciplinary proceeding. Plaintiff has consented to 19 Magistrate Judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) and no other party has been served 20 or appeared in the action. The court issued an order to show cause on September 2, 2011, 21 requiring plaintiff to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to state a 22 claim. 23 The court outlined plaintiff’s allegations in its prior order and will not repeat them 24 here. The court found plaintiff’s amended complaint was insufficient as he stated no cognizable 25 theory of liability. The court determined that his request for enforcement of a settlement 26 agreement is not properly the subject of a new action, but rather should be addressed in the 1 1 original action. Plaintiff was warned that failure to respond to the order to show cause may result 2 in the dismissal of this action for the reasons outlined as well as for failure to prosecute and 3 comply with court rules and orders. See Local Rule 110. 4 Plaintiff has not responded to the court’s order as directed. The undersigned finds 5 it appropriate to dismiss this action for plaintiff’s failure to comply to court order, and failure to 6 state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 7 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 8 1. This action is dismissed; and 9 2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment and close this case. 10 11 12 13 DATED: November 14, 2011 ______________________________________ CRAIG M. KELLISON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 2
