UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
DANNY JOE DODSON,
Plaintiff,
v.
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

REHABILITATION, et al.,
Defendants.
No. 1:23-cv-01298 JLT BAM
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISMISSING
ACTION WITHOUT PREJUDICE
(Doc. 14)
Plaintiff Danny Joe Dodson is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in
this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On October 16, 2025, the Court screened the complaint and directed plaintiff to either file
a first amended complaint or notify the Court of his willingness to proceed on the cognizable
claim identified by the Court within thirty days. (Doc. 13.) Plaintiff failed to file an amended
complaint or a notice of his willingness to proceed on the cognizable claim.
On December 2, 2025, the magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations that
recommended dismissal of this action, without prejudice, for failure to obey Court order and for
plaintiff’s failure to prosecute this action. (Doc. 14.) The Court served the findings and
recommendations on Plaintiff and notified him that any objections were due within 14 days. (Id.
at 3.) Plaintiff did not file any objections, and the time in which to do so has expired.
