UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEON E. MORRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRADFORD, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:11-cv-1171 TLN CKD P (TEMP) 

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action brought pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 14, 2016, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. On 

February 5, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion for a sixty-day (60) extension of time to oppose 

defendants’ motion, which this court granted. That sixty-day period expired, and plaintiff did not 

oppose or otherwise respond to the motion. On April 21, 2016, the court ordered plaintiff to 

show cause in writing within fourteen days why this court should not grant the pending motion 

for summary judgment. The court cautioned plaintiff that his failure to file an opposition would 

result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. That fourteen-day period has now 

expired, and plaintiff has not opposed defendants’ motion for summary judgment or responded to 

the court’s order. 

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

prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
