for Plaintiff’s failure to comply by filing an Amended Complaint

curing deficiencies outlined in the Court’s Order dismissing with

leave to amend. Both Findings and Recommendations were served on

plaintiff and contained notice to plaintiff that any objections

to the Findings and Recommendations were to be filed within

twenty (20) days. To date, plaintiff has not filed objections to

either of the Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.

§ 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.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, issued December 8,

2005, and December 13, 2005, are ADOPTED IN FULL; and,

2. The Complaint, is DISMISSED based on Plaintiff’s

failure to obey a court’s order, failure to prosecute the action

and failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
