UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DE ANDRE D. MILES,

Petitioner,

v.

R.L. GOWER,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-1938 JAM DB P

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

By order filed May 4, 2016, petitioner’s petition was dismissed and thirty days leave to 

file an amended petition was granted. On August 25, 2016, based on petitioner’s change in 

address, the May 4, 2016 order was re-served on petitioner. On November 14, 2016, petitioner

had still not filed an amended petition, so the undersigned ordered that petitioner was to file an 

amended petition within 20 days. Twenty days from that date have now passed, and petitioner 

has not filed an amended petition, or otherwise responded to the court’s order. 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), a petitioner’s failure to comply with a 

court order can result in dismissal of his action. See also Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, 

Rule 12. In the May 4 order, petitioner was advised that his failure to file a timely amended 

petition would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. In the November 14 

order, petitioner was advised of this again.

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

prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule 41(b) for petitioner’s failure to comply with a court order. 

These findings and recommendations will be submitted to United States District John A. 

Mendez, 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. The document should be captioned “Objections to 

Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations.” Any response to the objections shall be 

filed and served within seven days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that 

failure to file objections within the specified time may result in waiver of the right to appeal the 

district court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
