COLEMAN KENYATTA SMITH, Jr., Plaintiff, v. J. GROVE, et al., Defendants.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THIS ACTION BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE AND FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COURT ORDERS
OBJECTIONS DUE WITHIN FOURTEEN DAYS
JEREMY D. PETERSON, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On July 30, 2021, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. ECF No. 37. Plaintiff failed to file a timely response to defendants' motion. Accordingly, on September 16, 2021, I ordered plaintiff to show cause within twenty-one days why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and for failure to comply with the court's local rules. ECF No. 40. I notified him that if he wished to continue this lawsuit, he also needed to file, within twenty-one days, either an opposition or statement of non-opposition to defendants' motion. I also warned him that failure to comply with the September 16 order would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
The deadline has passed, and plaintiff has not filed an opposition or statement of non-opposition to defendants' motion nor otherwise responded to the September 16, 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 and failure to comply with court orders.
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); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
