UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DEXTER BROWN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:12-cv-03045-MCE AC P 

FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS 

 By order filed February 21, 2014, plaintiff’s third amended complaint was dismissed and 

thirty days leave to file an amended complaint was granted. After this deadline passed, plaintiff 

filed a declaration explaining the reasons for his delay.1 ECF No. 29. In this declaration, plaintiff 

averred that he had been transferred to a different prison and had suffered a painful injury, but 

stated that he intended to file the fourth amended complaint on April 3, 2014. Id. More than 

thirty days from that date have now passed, and plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint, or 

otherwise responded to the court’s order. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without 

prejudice. See Local Rule 110; Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 

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

 Even using the prison mailbox rule, this declaration was not filed until April 2, 2014.
