Opinion


HOANG TROUNG, Plaintiff, v. JEFF MACOMBER, Defendant. No. 2:14-cv-1590-EFB P United States District Court, E.D. California. September 24, 2015

          ORDER

          EDMUND F. BRENNAN, District Judge.

         Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. His action was dismissed without prejudice on June 2, 2015, due to his failure to comply with the court's April 28, 2015 order. ECF No. 8. Judgment was entered on the same day. ECF No. 9. Thereafter, plaintiff requested an extension of time to comply with the April 28 order, stating that he had not received it until May 12, 2015. ECF No. 10. On June 19, 2015, plaintiff filed a timely motion for relief from judgment. ECF No. 12. His motion indicates that he did not receive the April 28 order until May 12, and that within thirty days of receiving the order, he moved for an extension of time. Under these circumstances, the court finds that there is good cause for granting relief from judgment under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and is before the undersigned pursuant to plaintiff's consent. See E.D. Cal. Local Rules, Appx. A, at (k)(4).

         Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's motion for relief from judgment (ECF Nos. 12, 13) is granted;

2. This court's June 2, 2015 order and the judgment entered thereon (ECF Nos. 8, 9) are vacated;

3. Plaintiff shall, within thirty days of the date of this order, file an amended complaint as instructed in the April 28, 2015 order. Failure to comply with this order may result in dismissal of this action.
