Case No. 2:16-cv-02194-GMN-PAL
10-26-2017
REPORT OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff Keith Anjoyous Dunn's failure to comply with the court's Order (ECF No. 2). This matter is referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and LR IB 1-4 of the Local Rules of Practice.
Mr. Dunn is proceeding in this action pro se. He submitted an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (ECF No. 1) and a complaint (ECF No. 3). The court issued a Screening Order (ECF No. 2) granting Dunn permission to proceed in forma pauperis and screening the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). The undersigned found that the complaint failed to state a valid claim and allowed him until September 10, 2017, to file an amended complaint if he believed he could correct the noted deficiencies. The Screening Order warned Dunn that a failure to file an amended complaint addressing the deficiencies explained by the court would result in a recommendation to the district judge that this case be dismissed. To date, Mr. Dunn has not filed an amended complaint, requested an extension of time, or taken any other action to prosecute this case.
Accordingly, / / / / / / / / /
IT IS RECOMMENDED that:
1. Plaintiff Keith Anjoyous Dunn's Complaint (ECF No. 3) be DISMISSED.
2. The Clerk of the Court be instructed to close the case and enter judgment accordingly.
Dated this 26th day of October, 2017.
