UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHNNY CURTIS PALMER,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. MELENDREZ,

Defendant.

Case No.: 1:22-cv-00800-KES-CDB

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS TO DISMISS ACTION 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE FOR PLAINTIFF’S

FAILURE TO OBEY COURT ORDERS AND 

FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

Doc. 32

Plaintiff Johnny Curtis Palmer is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a United States magistrate 

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

On August 13, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge ordered the parties to file a form 

indicating whether each consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction within thirty days. Doc. 28. 

Plaintiff did not comply with the order. See Docket. Accordingly, on September 26, 2024, the 

magistrate judge issued an order requiring plaintiff to show cause why the action should not be 

dismissed for failure to obey the Court’s order, or alternatively, to file a completed 

consent/decline form. Doc. 31. Plaintiff again failed to respond to the Court’s order. See

Docket. Therefore, on October 18, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and 

recommendations, recommending that the action be dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to obey court 

orders and failure to prosecute. Doc. 32. The findings and recommendations contained notice

that any objections thereto were to be filed within 14 days. Id. at 4-5. Plaintiff did not file any 

objections, and the time to do so has passed. Nor has plaintiff otherwise communicated with the 

Court to date.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court has conducted a de 

novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the file, the Court concludes that the 

findings and recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on October 18, 2024, Doc. 32, are 

ADOPTED in full;

2. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to obey court 

orders and failure to prosecute; and

3. The Clerk of the Court shall vacate any pending deadlines and close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 13, 2024
