UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVE WILHELM, A.K.A. STEVEN 

HAIRL WILHELM,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFFREY A. BEARD, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:18-cv-1125 DB P

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this civil 

rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to this court 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On February 11, 2020, having screened the instant complaint, the undersigned determined 

that plaintiff had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Consequently, he was 

ordered to file an amended complaint within thirty days. (See ECF No. 9). Thereafter, thirty 

days passed, and plaintiff neither filed an amended complaint nor responded to the court’s order 

in any way.

As a result of plaintiff’s failure to comply with the court’s order, on April 7, 2020, the 

court issued an order directing plaintiff to show cause within thirty days why this matter should 

not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and for failure to obey a court order. (See ECF No. 12).

To date, plaintiff has also failed either to file a showing of cause or to respond to the court’s 

order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall randomly appoint a 

District Court Judge to this action.

IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED that this action be DISMISSED for failure to state a 

claim, for failure to prosecute, and for failure to obey court orders. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1);

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); L.R. 110; see also ECF Nos. 9, 12.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within thirty days after 

being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections with 

the court. Such a document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and 

Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time 

may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th 

Cir. 1991).
