J. LEWIS, et al.,

This is a civil action filed by plaintiff Mary Lee Gaines (“plaintiff”), a state prisoner
20
proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate
21
Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
22
This action was initiated by a civil complaint filed by plaintiff in the Madera County
23
Superior Court. (Doc. No. 1 at 1.) On August 21, 2017, plaintiff removed the case to federal
24
court. (Doc. No. 1 at 43.) On September 5, 2017, findings and recommendations were entered by
25
the assigned magistrate judge, recommending that this case be remanded to Madera County
26
Superior Court, because the right of removal to federal court belongs to defendants and not
27
plaintiffs. (Doc. No. 9.) The parties were granted fourteen days in which to file objections to
28
those findings and recommendations. (Id.) The fourteen-day time period has passed, and no
1

2
objections have been filed.
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, this
3
court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the
4
court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper analysis.
5
For these reasons,

1.
7
The findings and recommendations issued on September 5, 2017 (Doc. No. 9), are
adopted in full;

2.
This action is remanded to Madera County Superior Court;

All pending motions (see Doc. No. 7) are denied as having been rendered moot by

The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case and serve notice of the remand.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
