ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

The court referred this matter to the Honorable Earl S. Hines, United States magistrate judge, for pretrial proceedings pursuant to a referral order entered on December 11, 2009. The court has received and considered the report of the United States magistrate judge, who recommends that the court dismiss this action sua sponte without prejudice for want of prosecution, including a failure to notify the court of a change of address, failure to submit a joint conference report under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) and this court's Order Governing Proceedings, and failure to appear for a scheduling conference. On June 25, 2010, the Clerk of Court sent plaintiff a copy of the report of the United States Magistrate Judge which was returned undelivered as unclaimed, providing further support that plaintiff will not pursue this action in a compliant and expeditious manner. The magistrate judge's report is hereby ADOPTED. The purpose of the referral having been served, it is further ORDERED that the reference to the magistrate judge is VACATED.

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 12 day of August, 2010.
