Narrative:
I would like to report a near mid air collision at the el monte airport between myself in a diamond DA40 and a cessna skylane. I was cleared number two behind another cessna; while I was about to turn final; I happened to look to my left and saw that within a few hundred feet was the skylane also on final. I then had to use an evasive action to avoid the cessna; which was cleared behind me. I am a little upset with the el monte tower for not catching this incident before it happened and the skylane pilot for not following the controller's instructions. I did get a delayed tis message about the traffic after I had turned away.
