OBJECTIONS DUE IN TWENTY DAYS
12
13

Plaintiff is a civil detainee 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
17
18
19

Rule 302.
By order filed November 14, 2014, the Court issued an order dismissing the operative
complaint for failure to state a claim and directing Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within
thirty days. On December 12, 2014, Plaintiff was granted a 60 day extension of time. Plaintiff

20

has not filed an amended complaint.
21
22

In the November 14, 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.
