. On April 17, 2025, the undersigned screened plaintiff’s complaint and determined 19 it failed to state claims upon which relief may be granted. (ECF No. 13.) Plaintiff was given the 20 option of filing an amended complaint. (Id. at 5.) He was further advised that his failure to file an 21 amended complaint would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed pursuant to 22 Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (Id.) 23 On April 29, 2025, the screening order was returned by the U.S. Postal Service. (See 24 Docket.)
