UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ROBERT ELLIS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DR. ABDUR-RAHMAN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-0852 AC (TEMP) P 

ORDER AND 

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action brought pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 30, 2015, defendant filed a motion for summary judgment. 

Plaintiff had not opposed or otherwise responded to the motion, so on March 9, 2016, the court 

ordered plaintiff to show cause in writing within twenty-one days why this court should not grant 

the pending motion for summary judgment. The court cautioned plaintiff that his failure to file an 

opposition would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. That twenty-one day 

period has now expired, and plaintiff has not opposed defendant’s motion for summary judgment 

or responded to the court’s order. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to 

randomly assign a United States District Judge to this action. 

IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
