No. C 13-5406 LHK (PR)
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On November 20, 2013, plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint

16

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 24, 2014, the court dismissed the action for failure to

17

state a claim, and entered judgment. On April 8, 2014, plaintiff filed objections to the order of

18

dismissal. On June 4, 2014, the court construed plaintiff’s objections as a motion to alter or

19

amend the judgment. So construed, the court granted the motion, re-opened the case, and

20

dismissed plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend. The court directed plaintiff to correct the

21

deficiencies of his complaint, and file an amended complaint within thirty days. Plaintiff was

22

cautioned that his failure to file his amended complaint within thirty days would result in the

23

dismissal of this action. To date, plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint or otherwise

24

communicated with the court. Thus, the instant action is DISMISSED without prejudice. The

25

clerk shall enter judgment and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED:
