FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

PEREZ, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983 On September 1, 2017, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, ECF

19

No. 57, and informed plaintiff of the requirements for opposing a motion for summary judgment.

20

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 56; Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 962-63 (9th Cir. 1998). The time for

21

acting passed, and plaintiff failed to file an opposition or otherwise respond to the motion.

22

On November 7, 2017, the court warned plaintiff that failure to respond to the motion

23

could result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The

24

court also granted plaintiff a 21-day extension of time to respond.

25

The time for acting has once again passed and plaintiff has not filed an opposition, a

26

statement of no opposition, or otherwise responded to the court’s order. Plaintiff has disobeyed

27

this court’s orders and failed to prosecute this action. The appropriate action is dismissal without

28

prejudice.

4

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days

5

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

6

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned

8

within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Turner v.
