No. 1:19-cv-01488-NONE-SKO

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATION TO DISMISS CASE 

FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE AND 

OBEY THE COURT’S ORDERS

(Doc. No. 6)

On October 21, 2019, plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a complaint against 

defendants, but failed to either pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. 

(See Doc. No. 1.) On October 23, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge directed plaintiff to either 

pay the filing fee or request to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty days of the date of service 

of the order and warned plaintiff that “[f]ailure to comply . . . will result in a recommendation 

that this action be dismissed.” (Doc. No. 2.) Plaintiff failed to comply with the order and has not 

paid the filing fee or requested to proceed in forma pauperis to date. 

On December 2, 2019, the magistrate judge directed plaintiff to show cause within 

fourteen days why the case should not be dismissed for his failure to comply with the October 23, 

2019 order, and warned plaintiff that if he did not respond to the order, a recommendation would

issue that the action be dismissed. (Doc. No. 3.) Plaintiff failed to respond to the order to show 

cause by the deadline and has not filed a response to date.1 

In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Rule 302, on March 5, 2020, the assigned 

magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations recommending that this action be 

dismissed because Plaintiff failed to comply with the order to show cause, failed to comply with 

other court orders, and failed to prosecute the case. (Doc. No. 6.) The findings and 

recommendations were mailed to plaintiff’s address on the docket and contained notice that any 

objections were to be filed within fourteen days. (Id.) No objections have been filed. 

Pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this court has conducted a de novo

review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court finds that the findings and 

recommendation are supported by the record and proper analysis.

ORDER

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendation dated March 5, 2020 (Doc. No. 6), are

adopted in full;

2. This action is dismissed due to plaintiff’s failure to prosecute and to comply with 

court orders; and

3. The Clerk is directed to close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 13, 2020 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

 

1 The Clerk mailed the December 2, 2019 order to plaintiff, but the order was returned as undeliverable on January 

10, 2020. (See Docket.) On January 8, 2020, plaintiff filed a notice of change of address, and the Clerk updated his 

address on the docket to “AZ-7224, North Kern State Prison (5004), P.O. Box 5004, Delano, CA 93216-9022.” (See 

Doc. No. 5.) On January 13, 2020, the Clerk re-served Plaintiff with the order to show cause at his new address, (see 

Docket), and the deadline to comply with the order has now passed.
