UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CODY LEE McKIE, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SECRET SERVICE, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:24-cv-00438-EFB (PC) 

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

Plaintiff proceeds without counsel in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This 

proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 

 On August 30, 2024, the court screened plaintiff’s first amended complaint pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915A. ECF No. 8. The court dismissed the complaint as frivolous and granted 

plaintiff thirty days in which to file an amended complaint to cure the deficiencies. Id. The 

screening order warned plaintiff that failure to comply could result in a recommendation that this 

action be dismissed. 

The time for acting has now passed and plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint or 

otherwise responded to the court’s order. Thus, it appears that plaintiff is unable or unwilling to 

cure the defects in the complaint. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Clerk of Court randomly assign a district judge to 

this action. It is further RECOMMENDED that this action be DISMISSED without prejudice as

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 served and filed 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. Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez 

v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
