CORCORAN, et al., 13 Defendants. THIRTY-DAY DEADLINE
15 Plaintiff Nikko Javor Quarles is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil 16 rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff’s complaint was screened on July 17, 17 2019, and plaintiff was ordered to respond within thirty days. ECF No. 10. On August 15, 18 2019, plaintiff moved for a thirty-day extension, ECF No. 13, which we granted, ECF No. 14. 19 Plaintiff, however, has filed neither a response to the screening order nor a first amended 20 complaint. 21 To manage our docket effectively, we impose deadlines and require litigants to meet 22 those deadlines. When a plaintiff fails to comply with court-imposed deadlines, the court may 23 dismiss the plaintiff’s case for failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ.…
