ROD HICKMAN, ET AL., 

Defendants.

 /

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 General Order No.

262.

On August 5, 2005, the magistrate judge filed findings and

recommendations herein which were served on plaintiff and which

and recommendations were to be filed within twenty days.

Plaintiff has not filed objections to the findings and

recommendations.

The magistrate judge found that the third amended complaint

filed July 11, 2005, failed to state a colorable claim. On July

20, 2005, plaintiff filed a request to dismiss the third amended

complaint and proceed with the original complaint filed January

24, 2005. On April 20, 2005, plaintiff filed a first amended

complaint. On May 18, 2005, the court issued an order finding

that the first amended complaint superseded the original

complaint, and dismissed the amended complaint with leave to

amend. Plaintiff cannot reinstate a complaint that has been

superseded by a later pleading.

The court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and

recommendations to be supported by the record and by the

magistrate judge’s analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED

that: 

1. Plaintiff’s July 20, 2005, request to dismiss the third

amended complaint and proceed with the original complaint is

denied;

2. The findings and recommendations filed August 5, 2005,

are adopted in full; and

3. This action is dismissed for failure to state a claim.

DATED: November 2, 2005
