UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSHUA SMITH, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

NOEMI MONTEMAYOR, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:13-cv-1070 AC P 

ORDER and 

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

 Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil 

rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is referred to the undersigned United 

States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), Local Rule 302(c), and Local 

General Order No. 262. 

 On January 13, 2015, defendants filed and served a motion for summary judgment; 

plaintiff did not respond within the twenty-one-day period set forth in Local Rule 230(l). On 

March 10, 2015, the court directed plaintiff to file an opposition or statement of non-opposition to 

the pending motion within twenty-one days. ECF No. 27. Plaintiff was informed that failure to 

file an opposition would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without 

prejudice for failure to prosecute, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The extended deadline has 

now expired, and plaintiff has not responded to the court’s order. Therefore, it will be 

recommended that this action be dismissed.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall randomly assign a 

district judge to this action. 

 For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be 

dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 

 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 fourteen days 

after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written 

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned 

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Any response to the 

objections shall be filed and served within fourteen days after service of the objections. The 

parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to 

appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
