Case No. 1:20-cv-00353-AKK-JHE

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Plaintiff Marcus Pinson, who is proceeding pro se, brings this action under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 alleging violations of his rights under federal law. Doc. 1. The 

magistrate judge ordered Pinson to return a signed Prisoner Consent Form within 

thirty days and advised Pinson that failure to do so could result in dismissal. Doc. 

3. After more than thirty days passed and Pinson failed to comply with or otherwise 

respond to the order, the magistrate judge filed a report recommending that this 

action be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. Doc. 4. The 

magistrate further provided that Pinson had fourteen days to file an objection and 

that Pinson could cure the deficiency by returning the signed Prisoner Consent form 

within that time. Id. More than fourteen days have passed, and Pinson has not 

responded.
