(PC) Heggie v. Shasta County Jail ( 2021 )

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 RANDALL E. HEGGIE, No. 2:20-cv-2484 DB P 12 Plaintiff, 13 v. ORDER 14 SHASTA COUNTY JAIL, et al., 15 Defendants. 16 17 Plaintiff is a county inmate proceeding pro se with an action under 42 U.S.C. §1983. In 18 an order filed January 27, 2021, this court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend. 19 Plaintiff’s first amended complaint was due 60 days from the date of that order. (ECF No. 12.) 20 The only document plaintiff has filed since the court issued its January 27 order is a 21 document filed on February 12. (ECF No. 15.) That document may be a response to this court’s 22 order. The document appears to be a request for multiple investigations of alleged sex trafficking 23 and other criminal behavior. Plaintiff is advised that the court does not conduct investigations. 24 Nor is this court aware of any authority permitting it to provide plaintiff an investigator. See 25 Murphy v. Rodriguez, No. 1:19-cv-0206 DAD EPG PC, 2020 WL 3868470, at *1 (E.D. Cal. July 26 9, 2020); Georgacarakos v. Wiley, No. 07-cv-1712-MSK-MEH, 2009 WL 440934, at *7 (D. 27 Colo. Feb. 23, 2009) (in forma pauperis statute does not provide for the appointment of 28 investigators). To the extent plaintiff is requesting an investigation, that request is denied. 1 The only aspect of plaintiffs filing that may involve a potential § 1983 claim is □□□□□□□□□□□ 2 | statement that he is being denied the right to request medical care. In the January 27 order this 3 | court provided plaintiff with the standard to state a claim that a defendant is or has been 4 | deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment. If 5 | plaintiff wishes to state a claim that his inability to request medical care violates the Eighth 6 || Amendment, he should carefully review the January 27 order. 7 Plaintiff will be provided an additional 30 days to file a first amended complaint. Again, 8 | plaintiff should carefully review the January 27 order, a copy of which is attached. In addition, 9 | plaintiff must use the complaint form provided with this order. 10 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: 11 1. If plaintiff wishes to file a first amended complaint, he must do so within 30 days of 12 | the filed date of this order. Plaintiff must use the complaint form provided with this order. If 13 | plaintiff fails to file a timely first amended complaint, this court will recommend this case be 14 | dismissed. 15 2. Along with the copy of this order, the Clerk of the Court shall provide plaintiff with a 16 | copy of this court’s January 27 order (ECF No. 12) and a copy of the prisoner complaint form 17 | used in this district. 18 | Dated: April 19, 2021 20 1 ORAH BARNES UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 22 | DLB:9 DLB |/prisoner-civil rights/hegg2484.LTA eot 23 24 25 26 27 28
