Anthony Grigsby v. Hector Ludi

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

California state prisoner Anthony Pierce Grigsby appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing for failure to prosecute his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to a serious medical need. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Omstead v. Dell, Inc., 594 F.3d 1081, 1084 (9th Cir, 2010). We vacate and remand.

Although the district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Grigsby’s action for failure to prosecute, see id., Grigs-by attached to his notice of appeal prison mail logs and a declaration indicating that Grigsby never received the district court’s February 19, 2015 or March 20, 2015 orders. Because the district court did not have the benefit of these documents, we vacate the judgment of dismissal and remand so the district court can permit Grigsby to file a response to the order to show cause.

VACATED and REMANDED.
