NO. 1:11 cv 01821 GSA PC
ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

16
17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

18

§ 1983. Plaintiff has consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

19

636(c)(1).

20

By order filed September 20, 2012, the operative complaint was dismissed for failure to

21

state a claim. Plaintiff was granted leave to file an amended complaint, and directed to do so

22

within thirty days. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint.

23

In the September 20, 2012, order the Court informed Plaintiff of the deficiencies in his

24

complaint, and dismissed the complaint on the ground that Plaintiff had failed to state a claim

25

upon which relief could be granted. Because Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint, the

26

Court dismisses the claims made in the original complaint with prejudice for failure to state a

27

federal claim upon which the court could grant relief. See Noll v. Carlson, 809 F. 2d 1446, 1448

28

(9th Cir. 1987) (prisoner must be given notice of deficiencies and opportunity to amend prior to

1
2
3

dismissing for failure to state a claim).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed for failure to state
a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Clerk is directed to close this case.
