Plaintiff claims defendants violated his rights by improperly taking funds from 18 his prison trust account and withholding his legal mail. By order dated January 15, 2021, the 19 court screened the complaint and determined it did not contain any cognizable claims. (ECF No. 20 9.) Plaintiff was given thirty days leave to file an amended complaint and warned that failure to 21 file an amended complaint would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. (ECF 22 No. 9 at 8-9.) Those thirty days have passed, and plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint, 23 requested additional time to file an amended complaint, or otherwise responded to the court’s 24 order. Accordingly, the court will recommend that this action be dismissed for failure to 25 prosecute and failure to comply with court orders. For the reasons state above, the Clerk of the Court is ORDERED to randomly assign a 26 27 district judge to this action. 28 //// 1 1 2 IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
