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

21
§ 636; see also E.D. Cal. Local Rules, Appx. A, at (k)(4).

On January 27, 2017, the court informed plaintiff of the deficiencies in his complaint and
23
directed him to file an amended complaint within thirty days. ECF No. 8. The court also warned
24
plaintiff that failure to comply with the order would result in this action being dismissed for
25
failure to prosecute. Id. The time for acting has passed and plaintiff has not filed an amended
26
complaint, or otherwise responded to the court’s order.

inherent power of the Court.” E.D. Cal. Local Rule 110. The court may dismiss an action with or
2
without prejudice, as appropriate, if a party disobeys an order or the Local Rules. See Ferdik v.

Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1263 (9th Cir. 1992) (district court did not abuse discretion in
