Plaintiff,

v.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

14

MONICA WILLIAMS, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
By order signed September 29, 2017, plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed and plaintiff

17
18

was granted leave to file an amended complaint that cured the defects noted in that order.1 (ECF

19

No. 4.) Plaintiff was granted twenty-eight days from the date of that order to file an amended

20

complaint and was specifically cautioned that the failure to respond to the court’s order in a

21

timely manner would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. The twenty-eight

22

day period has expired, and plaintiff has not responded to the court’s order in any manner.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without

23
24

prejudice. See Local Rule 110; Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

Although it appears from the docket that plaintiff’s copy of the order was returned as
undeliverable, not in custody, plaintiff was properly served. It is the plaintiff’s responsibility to
keep the court apprised of plaintiff’s current address at all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f),
service of documents at the record address of the party is fully effective.

These findings and recommendations will be submitted to the United States District Judge

2

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

3

after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections

4

with the court. A document containing objections should be titled “Objections to Magistrate

5

Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within

6

the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. See Martinez v. Ylst,

7

951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
