The dismissal order explained the complaint’s 19 deficiencies, gave plaintiff 30 days to file an amended complaint correcting those deficiencies, 20 and warned plaintiff that failure to file an amended complaint would result in a recommendation 21 that this action be dismissed for failure to state a claim. Plaintiff’s copy of the order was 22 returned. On July 26, 2010, the court recommended that the action be dismissed without 23 prejudice, as plaintiff had not filed an amended complaint or otherwise responded to the court’s 24 order. 25 26 On August 27, 2010, plaintiff wrote a letter to the court inquiring about the prisoner early resolution program, and containing a new address.
