UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA MARIO A. VALENZUELA, No. 2:23-cv-02494-DAD-EFB (PC) Plaintiff, v. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THORNTONA, et al., Defendants.
Plaintiff, a state inmate, 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 February 21, 2025, the court screened plaintiff’s first amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. ECF No. 16. The court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim and granted plaintiff thirty days in which to file a second 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 a second 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. ////
