The court further 19 found that, with the exception of the excessive force claim, plaintiff had failed to state a 20 cognizable claim for relief against any additional defendants. The court gave plaintiff 30 days to 21 submit materials for service of process on defendants, or, alternatively, 30 days to file an 22 amended complaint to attempt to state cognizable claims under the theories listed above. On August 30, 2010, and October 18, 2010, the court granted plaintiff extensions of time 23 24 to comply with the July 20, 2010 order. 25 //// 26 //// 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 The time for acting has passed and plaintiff has not submitted the materials necessary for 2 service on defendants Merriweather, Hampton, Cross and Johnston, has not file an amended 3 complaint, or otherwise responded to the court’s order. 4 5 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ.
