Does plaintiff's refusal to file an amended complaint in this action support dismissal?

Whether plaintiff's refusal to file an amended complaint in this action supports dismissal turns on whether the original complaint was properly dismissed, a determination this court is required to make at this juncture.

The magistrate judge gave the following reasons for dismissing the complaint:
