MEMORANDUM^** 

DeLinda Vianne Rogers, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to file an amended complaint. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion a district court's dismissal of an action for failure to file an amended complaint in a timely manner, see Eldridge v. Block, 832 F.2d 1132, 1136 (9th Cir. 1987), and we vacate and remand.

Here, the district court dismissed Rogers's original complaint with leave to amend. Because she did not have copies of the exhibits which were attached to her original complaint, Rogers filed a "Motion for ORDER to Clerk to supply Copy of Exhibits [sic] from Orig. Complaint for Compliance." Rogers attached her amended complaint to this motion, asking for an "order directing the clerk to produce said exhibits [sic] for the amended complaint filed in conjunction with this motion."

In light of the liberal construction generally provided pro se plaintiffs, see Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972), the district court abused its discretion by failing to construe Rogers's motion as a motion to file an amended complaint, see Eldridge, 832 F.2d at 1137-38. Accordingly, we vacate the district court's dismissal and remand with instructions to the district court to file Rogers's amended complaint.

VACATED and REMANDED.
