UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY SMITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA PRISONS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:20-cv-0017 JAM CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On April 10, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which 

were served on plaintiff and which contained notice to plaintiff that any objections to the findings 

and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Plaintiff has filed objections to the 

findings and recommendations.

 The magistrate judge recommends that this action be dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to file an 

amended complaint. In his objections, plaintiff alleges he did file an amended complaint. The 

court notes that on March 19, 2020, plaintiff filed a document he titled “Petition Response of 

Order Deadline and Amended Complaint.” However, that document in no material way complies 

with the magistrate judge’s February 25, 2020 order as to the contents of the amended complaint.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this 

court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the 

court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper 

analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed April 10, 2020, are adopted in full; and

2. This action is dismissed without prejudice.

DATED: May 26, 2020
