Plaintiff,

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

J. CLARK KELSO, et al.,
Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983. On June 9, 2022 defendant Giddings filed a motion for summary judgment. ECF

19

No. 106. On August 17, 2022 plaintiff was ordered to file an opposition or a statement of non-

20

opposition to the pending motion within thirty days. ECF No. 110. In the same order, plaintiff

21

was informed that failure to file an opposition would result in a recommendation that this action

22

be dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The thirty day period has now expired, and

23

plaintiff has not responded to the court’s order.

24
25

For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be
dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

26

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

27

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

28

after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written
1

1

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned

2

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Any response to the

3

objections shall be filed and served within fourteen days after service of the objections. The

4

parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to

5

appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
