NICHOLAS PATRICK, Plaintiff, v. ALLEN, et al., Defendants.
ORDER AND FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 15, 2018, the court screened plaintiff's complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. The court found service appropriate as to defendants Allen and Bona, and granted plaintiff thirty days to either return documents necessary to effect service of process on those defendants, or to file an amended complaint to cure the deficiencies identified in the other claims. ECF No. 5. The order warned plaintiff that failure to comply would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. Despite multiple extensions of time to comply (ECF Nos. 10, 14), the time for acting has passed and plaintiff has not submitted the appropriate materials necessary for service or an amended complaint. ///// ///// /////
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to randomly assign a United States District Judge to this case.
Further, it is RECOMMENDED that this action be DISMISSED. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); E. D. Cal. Local Rule 110.
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez v.
