In an order dated October 20, 2016, the undersigned granted 19 defendants’ motion to dismiss and gave plaintiff twenty-one days to file a third amended 20 complaint. (ECF No. 24.) Plaintiff was advised that if he chose not to file an amended 21 complaint, the court would recommend that this case be dismissed with prejudice. (Id. at 11.) 22 On November 14, 2016, plaintiff filed a document entitled “Waiver of reply.” (ECF No. 23 25.) Plaintiff states that he submits “a motion for waiver of reply, in the interest of justice.” The 24 undersigned construes plaintiff’s filing as a decision not to proceed with this action. 25 26 27 28 Accordingly, and for the reasons set forth in the court’s October 20, 2016 order, the undersigned HEREBY RECOMMENDS that this case be dismissed with prejudice. Because all parties have not filed consents to magistrate judge jurisdiction, the Clerk of the Court is ORDERED to assign a district judge to this case. 1 1 These findings and recommendations will be submitted to the United States District Judge 2 to be assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l).
