13

Plaintiff’s deadline for doing so was May 22, 2017. (Id.) Plaintiff was advised that failure to

14

comply with the order would result in a recommendation that his case be dismissed. (Id. at 2.)

15

Plaintiff has not taken any action in this case since the court’s order dated April 18, 2017, and he

16

therefore appears to have abandoned this case.

IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED that Plaintiff Justin Langford’s case be dismissed
without prejudice.
