UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSHUA DIAZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. CUDAL, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:19-cv-01282-DAD-BAM

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

(Doc. No. 8)

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

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States 

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

On September 18, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge issued an order striking plaintiff’s 

unsigned complaint and requiring him to file a signed complaint within thirty days in order to 

proceed with this action. (Doc. No. 5.) The court expressly warned plaintiff that his failure to 

comply with the court’s order would result in dismissal of this action without prejudice. (Id. at 

2.) 

On November 4, 2019, following plaintiff’s failure to respond to the court’s September 

18, 2019 order, the magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations, recommending 

dismissal of this action without prejudice due to plaintiff’s failure to obey a court order and 

failure to prosecute this action. (Doc. No. 8.) The findings and recommendations were served on

plaintiff and contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen days 

after service. (Id. at 3–4.) The deadline to file objections has passed, and plaintiff has failed to 

file objections to the pending findings and recommendations or otherwise communicate with the 

court regarding this action. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this 

court has conducted a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the 

court concludes that the findings and recommendations are supported by the record and proper 

analysis. 

Accordingly, 

1. The findings and recommendations issued on November 4, 2019 (Doc. No. 8) are 

adopted in full;

2. This action is dismissed, without prejudice, due to plaintiff’s failure to obey a court 

order and failure to prosecute; and 

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
