amended complaint curing the deficiencies in his pleading or a notice to proceed on the claims 

found cognizable. (Doc. 9.) Plaintiff failed to comply with the screening order within the time 

provided. Therefore, on September 21, 2021, the Court issued an order to show cause why 

sanctions should not be imposed for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Court’s order. (Doc. 

15.) Plaintiff failed to respond to the order to show cause within the time provided. Thus, the 

Court issued findings and recommendations to dismiss this action for failure to obey court orders, 

which were served on October 15, 2021. (Doc. 17.)

Plaintiff filed late objections to the findings and recommendations on October 30, 2021, 

including a supporting declaration from Plaintiff’s counsel. (Docs. 19-20.) Plaintiff concurrently 

filed a first amended complaint. (Docs. 21, 23.) Upon review of the objections and the 

representations of counsel, the Court will WITHDRAW its findings and recommendations to

dismiss this action (Doc. 17). The Court advises Plaintiff to respond to future court orders within 

the time provided by the Court, Local Rules, or Federal Rules, or to request an extension of time 

if such is not possible. The Court will screen Plaintiff’s first amended complaint pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915A(a).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
