MAURICE BROWN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1086 MCE DAD P 

vs.

M. PENNER, M.D., et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

In findings and recommendations filed January 10, 2007, the undersigned has

recommended that this action be dismissed due to plaintiff’s failure to respond in any way to the

court’s November 22, 2006 order, requiring plaintiff to file a status report. On February 9, 2007,

plaintiff late-filed a status report and late-filed objections to the findings and recommendations,

declaring that he never received the court’s order to file a status report. Plaintiff has failed to 1

file a proof of service reflecting service of his status report or objections on defendants but will

be granted leave to do so. A sample proof of service was provided to plaintiff shortly after the

case commenced. 

In the interests of justice, this court will vacate the pending findings and

recommendations and grant plaintiff an opportunity to serve his status report and objections on
