and Recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis. In light of the court’s

March 24, 2008 order, this case can be dismissed for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with a court order

and failure to state a claim. See Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122 (9 Cir. 2000) (if court determines th

that complaint fails to state claim, leave to amend may be granted to extent that complaint’s

deficiencies can be cured); Noll v. Carlson, 809 F. 2d 1446, 1448 (9 Cir. 1987) (prisoner must be th

given notice of deficiencies and opportunity to amend prior to dismissing for failure to state a claim).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed May 15, 2008, is adopted in full; and

2. This action be dismissed, with prejudice, for plaintiff’s failure to obey the court’s

order of March 24, 2008, and for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be

granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
