18 Mustaffa Mansour sought to hold Correctional Officer Luken liable for excessive force in 19 violation of Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment rights while he was housed at North Kern State Prison. (See 20 Doc. 34 at 1-2.) After the Postal Service returned the Court’s mail as “Undeliverable, Return to 21 Sender, Paroled/Discharged” on June 12, 2025, Plaintiff did not file any notice of a change of address. 22 Defendants moved for an order to show cause regarding dismissal. (Doc. 91.) The magistrate judge 23 found Plaintiff failed to prosecute the action and terminating sanctions are appropriate after considering 24 the factors identified by the Ninth Circuit. (Doc. 94 at 2-5.) The magistrate judge recommended the 25 Court dismiss the action and deny Defendant’s motion. (Id. at 5.) 26 The Court served the Findings and Recommendations on Plaintiff at the address on record and 27 notified him that any objections were due within 30 days. (Doc. 94 at 6.)
