ORDER AND
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
/
16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action
17
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 9, 2011, plaintiff was granted thirty days to file a second
18
amended complaint to cure the pleading defects as to the claims against defendant McDonald.
19
The June 9, 2011 order warned plaintiff that if he did not file a second amended complaint, the
20
court would recommend dismissal of defendant McDonald for the reasons stated in the
21
previously vacated findings and recommendations. Thirty days passed and plaintiff did not file
22
an amended complaint. Accordingly, the undersigned recommends that defendant McDonald be
23
dismissed for the reasons stated in the previously vacated findings and recommendations filed
24
May 5, 2011 (Dkt. No. 17).

12
one days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written

16
parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to
