Plaintiff,
v.
NKIRUKA NOV, et al.,

No. 1:20-cv-01325-NONE-EPG (PC)
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISMISSING
CERTAIN CLAIMS AND DEFENDANTS
(Doc. Nos. 1, 9, 20)

Defendants.

16
17

Bobby Knight (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in

18

this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, which includes state law claims. The

19

matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and

20

Local Rule 302.

21

On December 9, 2020, the assigned magistrate judge entered findings and

22

recommendations, recommending that “all claims and defendants be dismissed, except for

23

Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claim against defendant Edwards for deliberate indifference to his

24

serious medical needs.” (Doc. No. 16 at 2.)

25

Plaintiff was provided an opportunity to file objections to the findings and

26

recommendations. The deadline to file objections has passed, and plaintiff did not file objections.

27

Plaintiff did file a motion to dismiss a claim against certain defendants (Doc. No. 20), which

28

appears to be a statement of non-opposition to the findings and recommendations (at least in
1

1
2

part).
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) 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

Accordingly,

6

1.

are adopted in full;
2.

All claims and defendants are dismissed, except for Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment
claim against defendant Edwards for deliberate indifference to his serious medical

The findings and recommendations issued on December 9, 2020, (Doc. No. 16),

needs; and

The Clerk of Court is directed to reflect the dismissal of all defendants on the
court’s docket, except for defendant Edwards.
