Civil Action No. 3:15-CV-2231-L

ORDER
This case was referred for screening to Magistrate Judge Paul D. Stickney, who entered
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (“Report”) on
July 28, 2015, recommending that the action be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute. The Report indicates that a notice of
deficiency was mailed to Plaintiff on July 8, 2015, because he failed to pay the filing fee or file a
motion to proceed in forma pauperis, and the notice was returned as undeliverable. Plaintiff has
since complied with the notice of deficiency. On the same date that the Report was entered, Plaintiff
filed an Amended Complaint and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. The court therefore rejects
as moot the magistrate judge’s recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice
under Rule 41(b), and recommits the case to the magistrate judge for further proceedings.
It is so ordered this 29th day of July, 2015.
