ARTEMUS BLANKENSHIP, Plaintiff, v. CDCR, Defendant.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THIS ACTION BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE, FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COURT ORDERS, AND FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM
OBJECTIONS DUE WITHIN FOURTEEN DAYS
JEREMY D. PETERSON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On February 11, 2021, I screened plaintiff's complaint, notified plaintiff that the complaint failed to state a claim, and granted him sixty days to file an amended complaint. ECF No. 9. Plaintiff failed to timely file an amended complaint. Accordingly, on May 14, 2021, I ordered him to show cause within twenty-one days why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to state a claim. ECF No. 12. I notified plaintiff that if he wished to continue with this lawsuit, he would need to file an amended complaint. I also warned him that failure to comply with the May 14 order would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
The deadline has passed, and plaintiff has neither filed an amended complaint nor otherwise responded to the May 14, 2021 order. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall randomly assign a United States District Judge to this case.
Further, it is RECOMMENDED that:
1. This action be dismissed for failure to prosecute, failure to comply with court orders, and failure to state a claim for the reasons set forth in the February 11, 2021 order, see ECF No. 9; and
2. the Clerk of Court be directed to close the case.
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)(1). 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.” Any response to the objections shall be served and filed within fourteen days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that 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).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
