UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff David Townsel is appearing pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 

1983. On May 29, 2015, Plaintiff consented to United States magistrate judge jurisdiction pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 636(c). (ECF No. 4.) 

On September 25, 2015, the Court screened and dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to 

state a cognizable claim for relief with leave to amend. (ECF No. 6.) More than thirty days have

since passed, and Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise responded to the Court’s order. As a 

result, there is no pleading on file which sets forth any claims upon which relief may be granted.
