Kenny Calihan (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

19

with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 1, 2017, Plaintiff filed

20

the Complaint commencing this action. (ECF No. 1.)

21

On September 25, 2017, the court issued an order dismissing Plaintiff’s Complaint for

22

violation of Rule 8 and failure to state a claim, with leave to file an amended complaint within

23

thirty days. (ECF No. 8.) The thirty-day deadline has now expired and Plaintiff has not filed

24

an amended complaint or otherwise responded to the court’s order.1 As a result, there is no

25

pleading on file which sets forth any claims upon which relief may be granted.

The United States Postal Service returned the order on October 2, 2017, as undeliverable. A notation on the
envelope indicates that Plaintiff was paroled on August 18, 2017. However, Plaintiff has not notified the court of
any change in his address. Absent such notice, service at a party=s prior address is fully effective. Local Rule
182(f).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A

2

and 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), this case be DISMISSED, with prejudice, based on Plaintiff’s failure

3

to state a claim upon which relief may be granted under § 1983.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge

5

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l).

6

fourteen (14) days from the date of service of these findings and recommendations, Plaintiff

7

may file written objections with the court. Such a document should be captioned “Objections

8

to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file

9

objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. Wilkerson v.
