Accordingly, the court ordered plaintiff to 22 file a complaint and submit either the filing fee or the application required by § 1915(a) within 23 thirty days and warned him that failure to do so may result in this action being dismissed. The 24 time for acting has passed and Mr. Blackman has not filed a complaint, paid the filing fee, 25 submitted an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis or otherwise responded to the 26 court’s order. 27 28 Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk randomly assign a United States District Judge to this action. 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 Further, it is RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. 2 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 3 assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l).
