ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATION, AND DISMISSING
ACTION FOR FAILURE TO STATE A
COGNIZABLE CLAIM FOR RELIEF
[ECF Nos. 15, 16, 17]

17

Plaintiff Willie H. Knox III is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action

18

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to

19

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

20

On August 22, 2018, the Magistrate Judge filed a Findings and Recommendation recommending

21

that this action be dismissed for failure to state a cognizable claim for relief. The Findings and

22

Recommendation was served on Plaintiff and contained notice that objections were to be filed within

23

twenty-one (21) days. Plaintiff filed objections on September 17, 2018. (ECF No. 17.)

24

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

25

novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including Plaintiff’s objections, the

26

Court finds the Findings and Recommendation to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.
