UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL ST. ANTHONY PHILLIPS,

Plaintiff,

v.

SACRAMENTO DEPARTMENT OF CHILD 

SUPPORT SERVICES, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00598-KES-SAB

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS TO DISMISS 

ACTION FOR FAILURE TO STATE A 

CLAIM, FAILURE TO PROSECUTE, AND 

FAILURE TO OBEY COURT ORDERS

Doc. 7

Plaintiff Michael St. Anthony Phillips is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this 

action filed on May 20, 2024. Doc. 1. This matter was referred to a United States magistrate judge 

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

On July 18, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge screened plaintiff’s complaint and granted 

him leave to amend in order to cure the identified deficiencies. Doc. 6. Plaintiff failed to file a 

first amended complaint within the thirty-day deadline. On August 23, 2024, the assigned 

magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations, recommending that plaintiff’s complaint 

be dismissed without prejudice for failure to state a claim, failure to prosecute, and failure to comply 

with a court order. Doc. 7. The findings and recommendations were served on plaintiff and 

contained notice that objections were to be filed within fourteen days. Id. at 10. Plaintiff was also 

informed that failure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights

have been filed and the time to do so has passed. 

In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court has conducted a de novo review of 

this case. Having carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes that the findings and 

recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on August 23, 2024, Doc. 7, are 

adopted in full;

2. This action is dismissed without prejudice; and

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
