Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 9 THOMAS L. GOFF, Case No. 1:15-cv-00937-AWI-EPG (PC) 11 Plaintiff, FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO
DENY PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO REOPEN
12 v. (ECF No. 111) GAMEZ, et al., OBJECTIONS, IF ANY, DUE WITHIN Defendants. FOURTEEN (14) DAYS
16 Plaintiff Thomas Goff brought this suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 as a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis1 in 2015. The Court initially dismissed the case for failure to prosecute in January of 2017, then reopened it in December of 2017 on Plaintiff’s motion, then dismissed it again for failure to prosecute in November of 2019. (ECF No. 89). Plaintiff appealed to the Ninth Circuit, Case No. 19-17494, which in 2021 held that the Court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the case. (ECF 109). Now, more than four years after the judgment, Plaintiff asks the Court to reopen the case again. (ECF No. 111). The Court recommends denying Plaintiff’s motion. 25
