________________________________/
17
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action
18
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant
19
to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rule 302(c)(17).
20
On March 31, 2011, the assigned Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations
21
that recommended Defendants’ motion for summary judgment be denied. (Doc. 42.) The assigned
22
Magistrate Judge found that there are genuine issues of material fact precluding summary judgment
23
on Plaintiff’s First Amendment retaliation claim, including (1) whether Plaintiff filed a grievance
24
on June 30, 2007 against Defendants regarding the service of cold meals; (2) whether Defendants
25
had knowledge of the alleged grievance; and (3) whether retaliation was the motivating factor for
26
Defendants’ actions. (Id. at 7.) The assigned Magistrate Judge also recommended that Defendants’
27
January 21, 2011 objections to Plaintiff’s declaration be granted in part and denied in part. (Id. at
28
8-9.)

The Court has conducted a de novo review of this case in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §
5
636(b)(1)(c). Having carefully reviewed the entire file in this case, the Court finds the Findings and
6
Recommendations to be supported by the record and proper analysis.
