Plaintiff Robert C. Williams is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights
action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On January 25, 2018, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations

20

recommending that plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment be denied. (Doc. No. 31.) The

21

findings and recommendations found that plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is defective

22

because it fails to cite any evidence and only asserts brief legal conclusions. (Id. at 2.) The

23

findings and recommendations were served on the parties and contained notice that objections

24

were to be filed within fourteen days. (Id. at 3.) No objections were filed and the time period to

25

do so has expired.

26

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

27

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

28

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