GEORGE GARCIA, Plaintiff, v. G. MARTINEZ, et al., Defendants.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF
DISMISSAL OF ACTION, WITH PREJUDICE,
FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM UPON
WHICH RELIEF MAY BE GRANTED AND
TO COUNT AS A STRIKE UNDER 28 U.S.C. §
1915(g)
(Docs. 4, 6, 10)
15-DAY DEADLINE
Plaintiff, George Garcia, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on August 30, 2013. On September 4, 2013, the undersigned dismissed Plaintiff's Complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted and ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within 21 days. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A; 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). Plaintiff requested and received an extension of time to file an amended complaint. To date, Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise responded to the Court's order. As a result, there is no pleading on file which sets forth any claims upon which relief may be granted under section 1983.
Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), the undersigned HEREBY RECOMMENDS that this action be dismissed, with prejudice, based on Plaintiff's failure to state any claims upon which relief may be granted under section 1983. It is further recommended that dismissal of this action count as a strike under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
These Findings and Recommendations will be submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 15 days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, Plaintiff may file written objections with the Court. The document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991). IT IS SO ORDERED.
