FAILURE TO OBEY A COURT ORDER

(Doc. No. 14)

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On January 14, 2020, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations 

recommending that this action be dismissed due to plaintiff’s failure to obey a court order. (Doc.

application to proceed in forma pauperis and that his failure to do so would result in a

to be filed within fourteen (14) days after service. To date, no objections have been filed, and the 

time in which to do so has since passed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this court has conducted a 

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court finds the findings 

and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Accordingly:

1. The January14, 2020 findings and recommendations (Doc. No. 14) are adopted in 

full;

2. This action is dismissed, without prejudice, due to plaintiff’s failure to obey a 

court order; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 19, 2020
