[ECF No. 7]

Defendant

8
In October 2016, the magistrate judge screened plaintiff’s one-page complaint, found that

9
10

it failed to state a claim, and gave plaintiff until November 4, 2016, to file an amended

11

complaint.1 When plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint by that deadline, the magistrate

12

judge gave plaintiff until November 28, 2016, to show cause why this case should not be

13

dismissed for failure to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff was warned that his failure to show

14

cause in writing by that deadline would result in a recommendation to the district judge that this

15

case be dismissed.2 The show-cause deadline came and went with no response by the plaintiff,

16

and on December 8, 2016, the magistrate judge recommended that I dismiss plaintiff’s complaint

17

without prejudice for failure to prosecute this case and respond to the order to show cause.3
The time for filing an objection to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation has

18
19

passed, and plaintiff has not sought an extension of that deadline or otherwise contacted the

20

court. Accordingly, with good cause appearing,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED without prejudice. The Clerk

21
22

of Court is directed to close this case.
DATED: December 27, 2016
