PATRICK L. RICHARDSON,
v.

Plaintiff,

RALPH DIAZ, et al.,

Case No. 2:20-cv-08030-HDV (JC)
ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS OF UNITED
STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

Defendants.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Court has reviewed the pleadings, the

19

records on file, and the Report and Recommendation (“Report”) of the United

20

States Magistrate Judge. Further, the Court has engaged in a de novo review of

21

those portions of the Report to which objections have been made.

22

The Report recommends dismissal of this action with prejudice because

23

Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint, which Plaintiff has elected not to amend, fails

24

to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. (Dkt. No. 85.) The Court has

25

previously affirmed the Magistrate Judge’s finding that the First Amended

26

Complaint fails to state a claim, in an order issued on August 10, 2023. (Dkt. No.

27

78.) Plaintiff’s objections fail to rebut the Magistrate Judge’s finding that the First

28

Amended Complaint fails to state a claim and fail to suggest any intent to file a

1

Second Amended Complaint. (Dkt. No. 86.) Rather, Plaintiff points out that he is a

2

pro se litigant, which does not relieve him of the burden of stating a claim to relief

3

that is plausible on its face. (Id. at 1-2.) Plaintiff also continues to stand by his

4

First Amended Complaint. (Id. at 6.)

5

As Plaintiff has elected to stand on the First Amended Complaint, IT IS

6

HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed with prejudice based upon the

7

deficiencies in the First Amended Complaint set out in the Magistrate Judge’s June

8

21, 2023 Order which this Court affirmed on August 10, 2023.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk serve copies of this Order on
Plaintiff and any counsel for Defendants.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
