Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
ALVARO AL PEREIRA, et al.,
Defendants.
16
17
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42
18
U.S.C. § 1983. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28
19
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and is before the undersigned pursuant to plaintiff’s consent. See 28 U.S.C.
20
§ 636; see also E.D. Cal. Local Rules, Appx. A, at (k)(4).
21
On June 15, 2016, the court determined that plaintiff’s amended complaint stated a
22
cognizable claim against defendant Horowitz and directed plaintiff to, within 30 days, return
23
documents necessary to effect service of process on defendant Horowitz. That order warned
24
plaintiff that failure to comply with the order could result in dismissal of this case. By an order
25
filed July 29, 2016, the court granted plaintiff an additional thirty days in which to comply with
26
the court’s June 15, 2016 order. The time for acting has passed and plaintiff has failed to return
27
the documents necessary to effect service of process on defendant and has not otherwise
28
responded to the court’s order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice.
