By order filed May 6, 2014, the court found plaintiff’s complaint frivolous but
21
22
nevertheless granted plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint together with a fully completed
23
in forma pauperis application. See ECF No. 8. Attempted service of the court’s order at

Plaintiff’s failure to timely file a new application to proceed in

cognizable civil rights claim and/or a Notice of Change of Address
(if applicable), will result in a recommendation that this action be
dismissed without prejudice.

Plaintiff subsequently filed a fully completed in forma pauperis application, ECF No. 10, which
9
was dated prior to the court’s June 2, 2015 order. Plaintiff has not, however, filed an amended
10
complaint within the extended deadline. Therefore, the undersigned will recommend dismissal
11
of this action.
12
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is directed to:
13
1. Indicate on the docket that plaintiff’s address of record is the California Medical
14
Facility; and
15
2. Randomly assign a district judge to this action.

Further, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without

prejudice.
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge
19
assigned to this case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twenty-one days
20
after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections
21
with the court. Such document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings
22
and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified
23
time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153
