Plaintiff,

v.

HONEA, et al.,

15

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

17
18

U.S.C. § 1983. On August 31, 2017, the court screened plaintiff’s second amended complaint

19

and found service appropriate for defendants Duch, Agurkis, Foster, and M. Bentley. That order

20

gave plaintiff 30 days to submit the documents necessary for service of process on defendants and

21

warned plaintiff that failure to comply with the order could result in dismissal of this case. The

22

time for acting has passed and plaintiff has failed to comply with or otherwise respond to the

23

court’s order.1

Although it appears from the file that plaintiff’s copy of the order was returned, plaintiff
was properly served. It is the plaintiff’s responsibility to keep the court apprised of his current
address at all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f), service of documents at the record address of
the party is fully effective.

Accordingly, it is hereby RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed for failure to
prosecute. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); E.D. Cal. Local Rule 110.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge

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

7

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections

8

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