(Id. at 6-7.) The Clerk of Court served the 25 order by mail and it was returned undeliverable on March 10, 2021. Plaintiff did not respond to 26 the assigned magistrate judge’s order or file a notice of change of address. 27 28 On June 2, 2021, the assigned magistrate judge entered findings and recommendations recommending that this action be dismissed without prejudice due to plaintiff’s failure to 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case 1:20-cv-01252-DAD-EPG Document 14 Filed 08/02/21 Page 2 of 2 1 prosecute this case and failure to comply with a court order.
