UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 BENITO JULIAN LUNA, Case No. 2:24-cv-1686-JDP (P) Petitioner, v. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE B. PHILIPS, Respondent. 16 On November 20, 2024, the court notified petitioner that his petition failed to state a claim. ECF No. 6. The court granted petitioner thirty days to file an amended petition. Id. Petitioner then requested a sixty-day extension of time to file an amended petition, which the court granted on January 6, 2025. ECF No. 8.

To manage its docket effectively, the court imposes deadlines and requires litigants to meet those deadlines. The court may dismiss a case based on petitioner’s failure to prosecute or failure to comply with its orders or local rules. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41; Hells Canyon Pres. Council v.
