FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
THAT THIS ACTION BE DISMISSED FOR
FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM UPON
WHICH RELIEF COULD BE GRANTED
vs.
9
HEIDI LACKNER, ET AL.,
10
Defendant

OBJECTIONS DUE IN TWENTY DAYS

13
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action . The matter was
14
referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local
15
16
Rule 302.
17
By order filed May 8, 2014, the Court issued an order dismissing the operative complaint
18
for failure to state a claim and directing Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within thirty days.
19
On May 23, 2014, Plaintiff was granted an extension of time. Plaintiff has not filed an amended
20
complaint.
21
22
In the May 8, 2014, order, the Court informed Plaintiff of the deficiencies in his
23
complaint, and dismissed the complaint on the ground that Plaintiff had failed to state a claim
24
upon which relief could be granted. Because Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint, the
25
26
Court dismisses the claims made in the original complaint with prejudice for failure to state a
claim upon which the Court could grant relief. See Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1127 (9th Cir.
27
28
1
1
2007)(recognizing longstanding rule that leave to amend should be granted even if no request to
2
amend was made unless the court determines that the pleading could not possibly be cured by the
3
allegation of other facts); Noll v. Carlson, 809 F.2d 1446, 1448 (9th Cir. 1987)(pro se litigant
4
5
must be given leave to amend his or her complaint unless it is absolutely clear that the
6
deficiencies of the complaint could not be cured by amendment). See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963
7
F.2d 1258, 1261 (9th Cir. 1992)(dismissal with prejudice upheld where court had instructed
8
plaintiff regarding deficiencies in prior order dismissing claim with leave to amend).
9
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed for failure
10
11
12
to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and that this action count as a strike under 28
U.S.C. §1915(g).
13
14
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)(B). Within twenty
15
days after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written
16
17
objections with the Court. Such a document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate
18
Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections
19
within the specified time waives all objections to the judge’s findings of fact. See Turner v.
20
Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1988). Failure to file objections within the specified time
21
may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir.
22
23
1991).
24
25
IT IS SO ORDERED.
