IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANUEL ALCALA FARIAS, Case No. 1:07-cv-0443 AWI TAG

 Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION TO DISMISS

vs. ACTION FOR FAILURE TO OBEY 

A COURT ORDER AND FAILURE

CITIBANK USA, TO PROSECUTE

 (Doc. 16)

 Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff Manual Alcala Farias, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed a civil rights

complaint, 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Docs. 1, 5). On March 29, 2007, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s

complaint without prejudice and ordered him to file an amended complaint on or before May 1,

2007. (Doc. 9). On May 8, 2007, the Court issued an order to show cause, directing Plaintiff to

explain why he had failed to comply with the March 29, 2007, order to file an amended complaint.

(Doc. 13). Although Plaintiff filed a written response and personally appeared at the show-cause

hearing, he did not provide an adequate or comprehensible explanation for his failure to file an

amended complaint. (Doc. 14; see Doc. Entry 15). 

On June 15, 2007, the Magistrate Judge filed a report and recommendation, recommending

that this case be dismissed due to Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the March 29, 2007, court order.

(Doc. 16). This document was served on Plaintiff and contained notice that any objections were to

be filed within fifteen (15) days of the date of service. (Id.). To date Plaintiff has not objected to

the report and recommendation.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 72(b), and Local Rule 72-304, this Court has conducted a de novo review of the case.

Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds the report and recommendation filed on

June 15, 2007, to be supported by the record and by the Magistrate Judge’s analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The report and recommendation (Doc. 16), filed June 15, 2007, is ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. Plaintiff’s civil rights action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for failure to comply

with the Court’s March 29, 2007, order (Doc. 9); and

3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
