19 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).

On January 21, 2016, the Court screened and dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint, with leave

20

21 to amend, for failure to state a cognizable claim. (ECF No. 8.) Plaintiff was directed to file an
22 amended complaint within thirty days from the date of service. (Id.) Plaintiff failed to file an
23 amended complaint, and on March 4, 2016, an order to show cause was entered, directing
24 Plaintiff to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to obey a court order
25 and failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 9.) On March 8, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for extension
26 of time in which to file an amended complaint. On March 11, 2016, an order was entered,
27 discharging the order to show cause, and granting Plaintiff a thirty day extension of time in

Plaintiff filed a consent to proceed before a magistrate judge on February 10, 2015. (ECF No. 4. )

The thirty day period has expired, and

2 Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint or otherwise responded to the Court’s order. As a
3 result, there is no pleading on file which sets forth any claims upon which relief may be granted.
Accordingly, Plaintiff shall show cause within fourteen (14) days as to why this action

4

5 should not be dismissed. Plaintiff is cautioned that that failure to comply with this order will
6 result in dismissal of this action for failure to comply with a court order and failure to state a
7 cognizable claim upon which relief may be granted.
