comply with court orders. Accordingly, it
ORDERED that:

The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation is adopted and

incorporated by reference in this order.

comply with orders of this court.
The Report and Recommendation was mailed to Plaintiff address of record, but it was returned as “vacant”

for dismissal because it amounts to an abandonment of the case and/or a failure to prosecute.
