FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION 

Plaintiff James Thomas Cook (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action. Plaintiff filed this action on October 20, 2014. He 

names Dr. Andrew Ho as Defendant.

On August 3, 2015, the Court screened Plaintiff’s Complaint and found that it failed to 

state a cognizable claim for relief. Plaintiff was granted leave to file an amended complaint 

within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the order. Plaintiff was advised that failure to file 

an amended complaint would result in dismissal for failure to state a claim. Over thirty days 

have passed and Plaintiff has failed to file an amended complaint. 

RECOMMENDATION

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

1. The Complaint be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for failure to state a claim; and
