Plaintiff,

v.

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-01590-AWI-SMS PC

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDING DISMISSAL OF ACTION,

WITH PREJUDICE, FOR FAILURE TO

STATE A CLAIM UPON WHICH RELIEF

MAY BE GRANTED 

(Doc. 15)

OBJECTIONS DUE WITHIN TWENTY DAYS

Plaintiff Damien M. McDougland (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on

November 1, 2007. On June 6, 2008, the undersigned dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to

state a claim upon which relief may be granted and ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint

within thirty days. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A; 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). To date, Plaintiff has not complied

with or otherwise responded to the Court’s order. As a result, there is no pleading on file which sets

forth any claims upon which relief may be granted under section 1983. 

Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), the undersigned

HEREBY RECOMMENDS that this action be dismissed, with prejudice, based on Plaintiff’s failure

to state any claims upon which relief may be granted under section 1983.

These Findings and Recommendations will be submitted to the United States District Judge

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twenty (20)

days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, Plaintiff may file written

objections with the Court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s

Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the

specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d

1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
