16 Defendant. 17 18 19 I. Introduction 20 On April 16, 2021, Kevin Barrios (“Plaintiff” or “Barrios”), who is proceeding pro 21 se, was incarcerated at the San Diego Central Jail and filed a civil rights complaint pursuant 22 to

42 U.S.C. § 1983

in this Court. ECF No. 1. Plaintiff did not prepay the civil filing fee 23 required by

28 U.S.C. § 1914

(a). He did, however, file a Motion to Proceed In Forma 24 Pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(a). ECF No. 2. On May 14, 2021, the Court 25 denied Plaintiff’s IFP motion because he had not provided the Court with a certified trust 26 account statement, dismissed Barrios’s Complaint pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(a), and 27 granted him sixty days from the date of the dismissal Order to file a properly supported 28 IFP motion. ECF No. 5. 1 On July 8, 2021, Barrios filed a renewed IFP motion. ECF No. 7. The Court granted 2 || Barrios’s IFP motion and dismissed the Complaint for failing to state a claim pursuant to

3 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2) and § 1915A(b). Jd. Barrios was given sixty days to file an 4 || Amended Complaint which cured the deficiencies of pleading noted in the July 8, 2021 5 || Order. Jd. 6 ||II. Discussion 7 Barrios’s Amended Complaint was due on or before November 1, 2021. To date, he 8 failed to amend, and has not requested an extension of time in which to do so. “The 9 || failure of the plaintiff eventually to respond to the court’s ultimatum—either by amending 10 |} the complaint or by indicating to the court that [he] will not do so—is properly met with the 11 |} sanction of a Rule 41(b) dismissal.” Edwards v. Marin Park,

356 F.3d 1058

, 1065 (9th Cir. 12 || 2004). 13 Conclusion and Order 14 Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES this civil action in its entirety based on 15 || Plaintiff’s failure to state a claim upon which § 1983 relief can be granted pursuant to 28 16 || U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)Gi) and § 1915A(b)(1), and his failure to prosecute as required by 17 || Court’s July 27, 2021 Order. 18 The Court further CERTIFIES that an IFP appeal would not be taken in good faith 19 || pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(a)(3) and DIRECTS the Clerk to enter a final judgment of 20 || dismissal and close the file. 21 IT IS SO ORDERED. 22 Dated: November 30, 2021 <=
