Doc. 10

16

William Watson, Jr. is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this

17

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Docs. 1, 7. The matter was referred to a

18

United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

19

On January 8, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge ordered plaintiff to show cause why

20

this case should not be dismissed, without prejudice, for failure to exhaust available

21

administrative remedies prior to filing suit as required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act.

22

Doc. 8. Plaintiff failed to respond to the order to show cause. On February 21, 2024, the

23

assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations to dismiss this case without

24

prejudice because plaintiff failed to exhaust available administrative remedies prior to filing

25

this case. Doc. 10. The court served the findings and recommendations on plaintiff and

26

notified him that any objections were due within 30 days. Id. at 3. Plaintiff has not filed any

27

objections, and the time to do so has lapsed.

1

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the court conducted a de novo review of this case.

Having carefully reviewed the entire action, the court concludes the findings and

3

recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis.

4

Accordingly, the court ORDERS:

5

1. The findings and recommendations issued on February 21, 2024 (Doc. 10) are

6

ADOPTED in full;

7

2. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to exhaust

8

administrative remedies; and

9

3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to terminate all pending motions and to close

10

this case.
