UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Dimitri Storm seeks to hold the defendants liable for violations of his civil rights while housed 

at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility. (See generally Doc. 16.) The magistrate judge 

screened Plaintiff’s amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and found Plaintiff failed to 

state a cognizable claim. (Doc. 18.) After Plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint, the magistrate 

judge found Plaintiff failed to prosecute this action and failed to comply with the Court’s order. (Doc. 

19 at 1-2.) The magistrate judge considered the factors set forth in Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 

1421, 1424 (9th Cir. 1986), and found terminating actions are appropriate. (Id. at 3-5.) Therefore, the 

magistrate judge recommended the Court dismiss this action without prejudice. (Id. at 4.)

The Court served the Findings and Recommendations on Plaintiff and notified him that any 

objections were due within 14 days. (Doc. 19 at 5.) The Court advised Plaintiff that the “failure to file 

objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of certain rights on appeal.” (Id., citing 

Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 2014).) Plaintiff did not file objections, and the
