UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KEITH RUCKER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

THOMAS A. FERRARA, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:14-cv-2523 MCE AC P 

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On February 12, 2015, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. ECF No. 11. On 

April 6, 2015, plaintiff was ordered to file an opposition or a statement of non-opposition to the 

pending motion within twenty-one days. ECF No. 16. In the same order, 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). 

On April 22, 2015, the April 6, 2015 order was re-served on plaintiff at an alternate 

address and plaintiff was given an additional twenty-one days to comply with the order. ECF No. 

17. Plaintiff was also ordered to file a notice of change of address within twenty-one days and to 

pay the filing fee or submit a non-prisoner application to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty 

days. Id. The twenty-one and thirty-day periods have now expired, and plaintiff has not 

responded to the court’s order.

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