IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES E. SMITH, Case No. 07-cv-0511-AWI-TAG

 Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS TO DISMISS

vs. ACTION FOR FAILURE TO OBEY 

THE COURT’S ORDER

THE GOVERNMENT OR THE (Doc. 9)

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,

 Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff James E. Smith (“Smith”), a prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for a writ

of habeas corpus, which was re-designated as a general civil complaint on May 23, 2007. (Docs. 1,

4). On June 11, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued an order dismissing Smith’s complaint without

prejudice and granting him thirty (30) days to file an amended complaint. (Doc. 6). The order also

required Smith to pay the $350 filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis

within thirty (30) days. (Id.). 

On August 16, 2007, the Magistrate Judge filed findings and recommendations,

recommending that this case be dismissed due to Smith’s failure to comply with the June 11, 2007,

court order. (Doc. 9). This document was served on Smith and contained notice that any objections

were to be filed within fifteen (15) days of the date of service. (Id.). To date, Smith has not objected

to the findings and recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 72(b), and Local Rule 72-304, this Court has conducted a de novo review of the case.

Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations filed

on July 16, 2007, to be supported by the record and by the Magistrate Judge’s analysis.
