OBJECTIONS DUE WITHIN FOURTEEN DAYS 16 17 On March 9, 2021, I screened plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. ECF 18 No. 5. I notified plaintiff that the complaint failed to state a claim and granted him sixty days to 19 file an amended complaint. Id. Plaintiff failed to timely file an amended complaint. 20 Accordingly, on July 22, 2021, I ordered him to show cause within twenty-one days why this 21 action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to state a claim. ECF No. 8. I 22 notified him that if he wished to continue with this lawsuit, he must file an amended complaint. I 23 also warned him that failure to comply with the July 22 order would result in a recommendation 24 that this action be dismissed. Id. 25 The deadline has passed, and plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint nor otherwise 26 responded to the July 22, 2021 order. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk of 27 Court shall randomly assign a United States District Judge to this case. 28 1 Further, it is RECOMMENDED that: 2 1. This action be dismissed for failure to prosecute, failure to comply with court orders, 3 | and failure to state a claim for the reasons set forth in the March 9, 2021 order. See ECF No. 5. 4 2.
