his case would be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute.3

United States District Court

Northern District of California

§ 1915 and dismissed it for failure to state a claim.5The court granted Mr. Ross leave to file a 

second amended complaint by January 30, 2017, and again warned him that his case would be 

dismissed without prejudice if he did not file a new complaint.6 Mr. Ross has not filed a second 

amended complaint.

The court therefore dismisses without prejudice Mr. Ross’s case for failure to prosecute. The 

court directs the Clerk of the Court to close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
