UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

THOMAS EDWARD DASILVA, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

WARDEN OF PLEASANT VALLEY 

STATE PRISON, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:14-cv-2138 MCE AC P 

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

 Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a habeas corpus petition filed pursuant 

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On April 7, 2015, respondent filed a motion to dismiss the petition. ECF 

No. 9. On May 19, 2015, petitioner was ordered to file and serve, within twenty-one days, an 

opposition or statement of non-opposition to the pending motion. ECF No. 12. In the same 

order, petitioner was informed that failure to file an opposition would result in a recommendation 

that this action be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 41(b). Id. The twenty-one-day period has now expired, and petitioner has not 

responded to the court’s order. 

 For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be 

dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 

 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge
