[DISREGARD: DOCKETED TO INCORRECT CASE] FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS (Text Only): On 4/7/2026, Plaintiff's 1 Complaint was dismissed with leave to amend. The Amended Complaint was due on 5/11/2026, and Plaintiff has not filed an Amended Complaint. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court assign a district court judge to this case. IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. See Local Rule 110; Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 14 (fourteen) days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, Plaintiff may file written objections with the court. The document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time waives the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

MINUTE ORDER issued by Relief Courtroom Deputy for Chief Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney on 5/20/2026: Because the court does not permit supplemental pleadings, Local Rule 220, Petitioner's 15 Motion for Leave to Supplement the pending 1 Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus is DENIED. Petitioner is reminded to SHOW CAUSE by 6/2/2026, why this action should not be dismissed as duplicative of M.G. v. Warden, Golden State Annex ICE Det. Facility, 1:26-cv-0693 DJC CKD P. Finally as to Petitioner's argument in the proposed supplemental brief that Petitioner is a member of the Maldonado Bautista v. Santacruz, No. 5:25-CV-01873-SSS-BFM class, Maldonado Bautista does not apply in this case because, on 3/6/2026, the Ninth Circuit stayed application of the decision outside of the Central District.
