v.
No. 1:23-cv-1214 JLT SAB (PC)
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING
PLAINTIFF’S SECOND MOTION FOR
SUMMARY JUDGMENT
ZACHERY JONES, et al.
(Docs. 34, 37)
15
Defendants.
16
17
Plaintiff asserts the defendants violated his civil rights during Plaintiff’s incarceration at
18
North Kern State Prison and moved for summary judgment on his claims. (Doc. 34.) The
19
magistrate judge found the motion was premature because the defendants have not filed a
20
responsive brief and discovery has not been opened yet. (Doc. 37 at 2.) Therefore, the magistrate
21
judge recommended the motion be denied. (Id. at 3.)
22
The Court served the Findings and Recommendations on the plaintiff and notified him
23
that any objections were due within 14 days. (Doc. 37 at 3.) The Court advised him that the
24
“failure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal.”
25
(Id., citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 2014).) Plaintiff did not file
26
objections, and the time to do so has passed.

28
According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court performed a de novo review of this
case. Having carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes the Findings and
1

Recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis. Thus, the Court ORDERS:
1.

The Findings and Recommendations issued on January 4, 2024 (Doc. 37) are
ADOPTED in full.
2.
Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. 34) is DENIED.
