ORDER AND FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 13 JOHN DOE, 14 Defendant. 15 16 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 17 U.S.C. § 1983.

ECF No. 6. The court dismissed the complaint, explained the deficiencies therein, and 21 granted plaintiff thirty days in which to file an amended complaint to cure the deficiencies. Id. 22 The screening order warned plaintiff that failure to comply would result in a recommendation that 23 this action be dismissed. The time for acting has now passed and plaintiff has not filed an 24 amended complaint.1 Thus, it appears that plaintiff is unable or unwilling to cure the defects in 25 the complaint. 26 1 Although it appears from the file that plaintiff’s copy of the order was returned, plaintiff 27 was properly served. It is the plaintiff’s responsibility to keep the court apprised of his current address at all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f), service of documents at the record address of 28 the party is fully effective. wOAOe 2 EUV VAI Re MVOC IR Ore PAY eT 1 Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to randomly assign a United States 2 | District Judge to this action. 3 Further, it is RECOMMENDED that this action be DISMISSED without prejudice for the 4 | reasons set forth in the April 8, 2020 screening order (ECF No. 6). 5 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 6 || assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)().
