CAUSE; AND

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO OBEY A 

COURT ORDER AND FAILURE TO 

PROSECUTE

(ECF NO. 15)

FOURTEEN-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On December 19, 2016, Plaintiff’s complaint was screened and found to state 

cognizable claims against three Defendants. (ECF No. 14.) Plaintiff was granted thirty 

days to file a notice of his willingness to proceed on the complaint as screened or to file 

an amended complaint. When Plaintiff did not respond to the Court’s Order within the 

thirty-day period, the undersigned issued an order to show cause why his action should 

not be dismissed for failure to obey a court order and failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 15.) 

The fourteen-day period to respond to the order to show cause has now passed, and

Plaintiff has not provided a response to it, submitted a notice of his willingness to 

proceed on the complaint as screened, or submitted an amended pleading. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the February 3, 2017, order to show 

cause is VACATED; and

IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed for failure to obey 

a court order and failure to prosecute.

The findings and recommendations will be submitted to the United States District 

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 

Within fourteen (14) days after being served with the findings and recommendations, the 

parties may file written objections with the Court. The document should be captioned 

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” A party may 

respond to another party’s objections by filing a response within fourteen (14) days after 

being served with a copy of that party’s objections. The parties are advised that failure to 

file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal.
