UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT LAWRENCE WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL, 

et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-03969-JCS (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s order to file an amended complaint. 

Accordingly, the action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failing to respond to the 

Court’s order, and for failure to prosecute, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).1 Because this

dismissal is without prejudice, plaintiff may move to reopen the action. Any such motion 

must contain an amended complaint compliant with the Court’s instructions in the order 

dismissing the complaint with leave to amend. 

The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of defendants, and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 11, 2015

Plaintiff consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. (Compl. at 4.) The magistrate judge, 

then, has jurisdiction to decide this motion, even though defendants have not been served 

or consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. See Neals v. Norwood, 59 F.3d 530, 532 (5th 

Cir. 1995)
