forma pauperis in this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

19

recommendations recommending that Defendants’ motion for sanctions, filed on October 3, 2016,

be denied. (ECF No. 164.) Those findings and recommendations were served on the parties and

22

contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen (14) days after

23

service. (Id. at 5.) No objections were filed, and the deadline for any remaining objections has

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this court has conducted a

26

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court finds the findings

27

and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.
