IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRIAN CHRISTMAN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0884 FCD PAN P

vs.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT

OF CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner without counsel seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983. He filed a complaint May 4, 2004. On December 13, 2004, defendants filed a motion to

dismiss, which the court denied July 25, 2005. On August 16, 2005, defendants filed an answer.

On May 3, 2006, plaintiff filed a notice stating he intends to reject all correspondence from the

court “until further notice.” On May 9, 2006, mail was returned to the court with the notation

“RTS, Inmate Refused.” On May 18, 2006, mail was returned to the court with the notation,

“returned to sender - inmate refused.”

It appears plaintiff intends to abandon this action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed

without prejudice for lack of prosecution. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
