UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NICKOLAS J. HOWLAND,

Plaintiff,

v.

CATALLI, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:19-cv-0608 JAM CKD P

FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

Plaintiff is a county prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On December 10, 2019, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 17.) 

After plaintiff failed to file a response, he was given an additional twenty-one days to respond to 

the motion and warned that failure to do so would result in a recommendation that this action be 

dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 19.) Twenty-one days have now 

passed without any response from plaintiff. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without 

prejudice for failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

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

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

after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written 

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned
