UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TRACY FIDEL ALFORD, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

LAM DANG, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-714-KJM-EFB P 

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On July 28, 2016, the court screened plaintiff’s amended complaint pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1915A. The court found service appropriate as to plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment 

claim against defendant Cloug, and granted plaintiff thirty days to either return documents 

necessary to effect service of process on defendant Cloug, or to file an amended complaint to cure 

the deficiencies identified in the other claims. ECF No. 20. The order warned plaintiff that 

failure to comply would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. The time for 

acting has passed and plaintiff has not submitted the materials necessary for service, has not filed 

an amended complaint, or otherwise responded to the court’s order.
