CASE NO. 1:15-cv-01054-AWI-MJS (PC)
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS TO GRANT IN
PART AND DENY IN PART
DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY
JUDGMENT ON EXHAUSTION
GROUNDS
(ECF No. 25)
CASE TO REMAIN OPEN
20
21
Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma paurperis in this civil rights
22
action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States
23
Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
24
On November 2, 2016, the Magistrate Judge assigned to this case issued findings
25
and recommendations to grant in part and deny in part Defendant’s motion for summary
26
judgment on exhaustion grounds. (ECF No. 36.) Therein, the Judge recommended
27
dismissing Plaintiff’s retaliation claim for failure to exhaust, but found that Plaintiff had
28
properly exhausted his claims relating to the denial of access to an accessible shower
1
and rescission of his ADA status. The parties were given fourteen days to file their
2
objections. No objections were filed, and the time to do so has passed.
3
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304,
4
the Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the
5
entire file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the
6
record and by proper analysis.
