PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, et al.,

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
/
16
This action in which plaintiff is proceeding in propria persona and in forma pauperis, is
17
before the undersigned pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 302(c)(21). See 28
18
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On April 15, 2011, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint for failure to
19
state a claim, with leave to amend, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Dckt. No. 6. The
20
dismissal order explained the complaint’s deficiencies, gave plaintiff 30 days to file an amended
21
complaint correcting those deficiencies, and warned plaintiff that failure to file an amended
22
complaint would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
23
The 30-day period has expired and plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint or
24
appropriately responded to the court’s order. On May 6, 2011, plaintiff filed a document titled
25
“Standing Objection,” which references the April 15 order, but does not excuse plaintiff’s failure
26
to file an amended complaint. Dckt. No. 7. In that filing, plaintiff claims that the defendants are
1
1
in default and that any orders or findings of the undersigned would be “refused” by plaintiff “for
2
good cause shown.”1 Dckt. No. 7 at 8. Plaintiff has not requested an extension of time or
3
otherwise indicated that he intends to file an amended complaint.
4
Accordingly, it is hereby RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without
5
prejudice, and that the Clerk be directed to close this case. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); E.D. Cal.
6
L.R. 110.
7
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge
8
assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days
9
after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written
10
objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned
11
“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections
12
within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Turner v.
13
Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
