NBC UNIVERSAL, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
On November 14, 2017, the court dismissed plaintiff’s first amended complaint with leave

17
18

to amend.1 The order explained the complaint’s deficiencies, gave plaintiff thirty days to file an

19

amended complaint correcting those deficiencies, and warned plaintiff that failure to file an

20

amended complaint would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. ECF No. 4.
The deadline has passed and plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint or otherwise

21
22

responded to the order.2

This action, in which plaintiff is proceeding in propria persona, was referred to the
undersigned under Local Rule 302(c)(21). See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
2

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, and that the
Clerk be directed to close this case. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); E.D. Cal. L.R. 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, plaintiff may file written objections

6

with the court. Such a document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings

7

and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right

8

to appeal the District Court’s order. Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998);
