Defendants.

Plaintiff Angel Louis Vega is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

18

with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United

19

States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
On October 3, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge screened plaintiff’s first amended

20
21

complaint and issued findings and recommendations recommending that plaintiff’s motion for

22

appointment of counsel be denied and that this action be dismissed due to plaintiff’s failure to

23

state a claim upon which relief may be granted under § 1983. (Doc. No. 13.) Those findings and

24

recommendations were served on plaintiff and contained notice that any objections thereto were

25

to be filed within fourteen days after service. (Id. at 5.) To date, no objections have been filed,

26

and the time in which to do so has now passed.

adopted in full;
