OFFICE OF WORKERS’ COMP.

/
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this civil action pursuant to 5 U.S.C.

18

§ 522a(g)(1) to remedy alleged violations of the Privacy Act of 1974. On February 26, 2013, the

19

Court issued an order permitting Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within thirty days. (ECF

20

No. 56.) The order further specified: “If no amended pleading is filed within 30 days, the Court

21

will dismiss Plaintiff’s catch-all damages claim with prejudice and will direct the Clerk of the

22

Court to close this case.” In response, Plaintiff filed a document on March 25, 2013, indicating

23

that he would not be filing an amended complaint and, instead, stands on the original complaint,

24

which the Court dismissed with leave to amend (ECF No. 56) as to the catch-all damages claim.

25

(ECF No. 58.) Given Plaintiff’s March 25, 2013, response, the remaining catch-all damages

26

claim will be dismissed and this action will be closed.
