ORDER OF DISMISSAL UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 11 For the Northern District of California United States District Court 10 No. C 12-3240 PJH Defendant. _______________________________/ 12 13 The complaint in this case was dismissed on June 28, 2012 because it failed to state 14 a claim given that it was largely incomprehensible and unintelligible. The dismissal was 15 with leave to amend. Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint by the deadline and no 16 communication with him has been received by the court. 17 The court having considered the five factors set forth in Malone v. United States 18 Postal Service, 833 F.2d 128, 130 (9th Cir. 1987), and having determined that 19 notwithstanding the public policy favoring the disposition of actions on their merits, the 20 court's need to manage its docket and the public interest in the expeditious resolution of the 21 litigation require dismissal of this action. In view of plaintiff's lack of response to this court's 22 prior order(s), the court finds there is no appropriate less drastic sanction. Accordingly, this 23 action is dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. pro. 41(b) for plaintiff's failure to 24 prosecute. 25 IT IS SO ORDERED. 26 Dated: August 3, 2012 27 28 ______________________________ PHYLLIS J. HAMILTON United States District Judge
