17

Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. The action was accordingly referred to the

18
19

undersigned for pretrial matters by E.D. Cal. R. (“Local Rule”) 302(c)(21). On July 28, 2017, the

20

court dismissed the complaint, and granted plaintiff 30 days to file an amended complaint. ECF

21

No. 3. Plaintiff was cautioned that failure to do so could lead to a recommendation that the action

22

be dismissed. On August 25, 2017, plaintiff requested a 60-day extension of time to file his first

23

amended complaint in order to “seek legal advice and/or obtain legal representation.” ECF No. 4.

24

On August 29, 2017, this court granted the extension. ECF No. 5. Plaintiff did not respond.
On November 2, 2017, the court issued an order to show cause why this case should not

25
26

be dismissed for failure to prosecute. ECF No. 6. Plaintiff has not responded to the court’s

27

orders, nor taken any action to prosecute this case.

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