Plaintiff
Order Dismissing Claims Against
Defendant Barron

5 v.
6 James Dzurenda, et al.,

[ECF No. 55]

Defendants

8

Last month, I granted summary judgment against pro se plaintiff Curtis Brady Jr. on three

9 of his claims against several defendants in this civil-rights case.1 In the order, I noted that Brady
10 had not complied with Magistrate Judge Cam Ferenbach’s 2019 order to complete a USM-285
11 form so that a defendant, who Brady named only as “Barron,” could finally be served—years
12 into this case.2 I ordered Brady to show cause by October 25, 2020, why I should not dismiss his
13 claims against Barron for failing follow Judge Ferenbach’s order and cautioned him that if he
14 failed to do so, his claim against Barron would be deemed abandoned.3 That deadline has passed
15 and Brady has not complied with the order, so I dismiss his claims against Barron.
16

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that all claims against Defendant Barron are dismissed

17 and the Clerk of Court is directed to terminate Defendant Barron from this case. This case
18 proceeds on Brady’s First Amendment retaliation claim against defendants Morrice Guice Jr. and
19 Antonio Bryant only.
