Plaintiff,

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISMISSING
ACTION DUE TO PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE
TO PROSECUTE
JEFF LYNCH,
Defendant.
(Doc. No. 12)
Plaintiff Melvin A. Parker is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in
18
this civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a United
19
States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
20
On April 26, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations
21
recommending that this action be dismissed, without prejudice, due to plaintiff’s failure to
22
prosecute this action. (Doc. No. 12.) In particular, on February 23, 2024, the magistrate judge
23
screened plaintiff’s complaint, determined that plaintiff had failed to state a cognizable claim for
24
relief, and gave plaintiff sixty (60) days from the date of service of that order to file a first
25
amended complaint. (Doc. No. 9.) The court served the screening order on plaintiff by mail on
26
February 23, 2024. To date, plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint or otherwise
27
communicated with the court. Accordingly, the pending findings and recommendations were
28
served on plaintiff and contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within
1
1
fourteen (14) days after service. (Doc. No. 12 at 1.) To date, no objections to the findings and
2
recommendations have been filed, and the time in which to do so has now passed.
3
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this court has conducted a
4
de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court concludes that the
5
findings and recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis.
6
Accordingly:
7
1.
8
The findings and recommendations issued on April 26, 2024 (Doc. No. 12) are
adopted in full;
9
2.
10
This action is dismissed, without prejudice, due to plaintiff’s failure to prosecute
this action; and
11
3.
12
IT IS SO ORDERED.
