§ 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305, this Court has conducted a

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the

entire file, the Court finds the Findings and Recommendations to

be supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Plaintiff provides no explanation for his failure to comply

with the Court’s order of February 2, 2005. Pursuant to that

order, discovery was opened and plaintiff was ordered to provide

the Court with defendant Doe’s identity within one-hundred twenty

days. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). Plaintiff neither complied with the

order nor otherwise contacted the Court prior to the issuance of

the Findings and Recommendations. Although plaintiff objected to

the Findings and Recommendations, plaintiff’s objection sets

forth no grounds that support setting aside the Findings and

Recommendations.

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed June 28, 2005,

is ADOPTED IN FULL; and,

2. This action is DISMISSED, without prejudice, pursuant

failure to provide information sufficient for the Court to direct

the Marshal to initiate service of the summons and complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
