VICTOR M. ACUNA,

Plaintiff,

v.

NNENNA IKEGBU, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-03651-JCS (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff has failed to file an amended complaint by the deadline. Accordingly, this 

federal civil rights action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failing to respond to the 

Court’s order, and for failure to prosecute, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).1 Because this 

dismissal is without prejudice, plaintiff may move to reopen the action. Any such motion 

must contain an amended complaint that addresses the deficiencies specified in the Court’s 

order dismissing the original complaint with leave to amend. (Docket No. 7.) 

The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of defendants, and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 4, 2015

1

Plaintiff has consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. (Docket No. 5.) The magistrate judge, 

then, has jurisdiction to issue this order, even though defendants have not been served or 

consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. See Neals v. Norwood, 59 F.3d 530, 532 (5th Cir. 

1995) (holding that magistrate judge had jurisdiction to dismiss prison inmate’s action under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 as frivolous without consent of defendants because defendants had not been served 

yet and therefore were not parties).
