further scheduling order requiring plaintiff and defendant Adams to file pretrial statements on or

scheduling order. ECF No. 61. 

On December 27, 2019, the undersigned issued Findings and Recommendations that this 

action be dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to file his pretrial statement. ECF No. 62. After
