IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MATTHEW FORREY HOLGERSON,

Plaintiff, 

vs. No. CIV S-06-0144 GEB CMK P

MIKE KNOWLES,

Defendant.

FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis brings this

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72-302(c)(17). 

By order filed July 7, 2006, the court issued an order dismissing the operative

complaint for failure to state a claim and directed plaintiff to file an amended complaint within

thirty days. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. 

In the July 7, 2006 order, the court informed plaintiff of the deficiencies in his

complaint and dismissed the complaint on the ground that plaintiff had failed to state a claim

upon which relief could be granted. On September 20, 2006 petitioner requested a thirty day

extension to file an amended complaint. The court granted a thirty day extension on September

26, 2006. To date, plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Because plaintiff has not filed

an amended complaint, the court recommends dismissal of the claims made in the original

complaint for failure to state a claim upon which the court could grant relief. See Noll v. Carlson,

809 F.2d 1446, 1448 (9th Cir. 1987) (prisoner must be given notice of deficiencies and

opportunity to amend prior to dismissing for failure to state a claim). 

Based on the foregoing, IT IS RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed for

failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District

 Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within ten days

after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections

with the court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings

and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified

time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. See Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d

1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

DATED: November 9, 2006.
