Case No. 1:24-cv-0398 JLT EPG (PC)
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS, DISMISSING THIS
ACTION AS BARRED BY RES JUDICATA,
AND DIRECTING THE CLERK OF COURT
TO CLOSE THE CASE
(Doc. 10)
16
17
Paul Mazzei is a state prisoner, who seeks to hold defendants liable for violations of his
18
civil rights, asserting physician’s assistant Sisodia and registered nurse Mba were deliberately
19
indifferent to his serious medical needs. (See generally Doc. 1.) Plaintiff brought a case based on
20
the same allegations and against the same defendants in state court (Doc. 1 at 12-13), which ruled
21
against Plaintiff on summary judgment (id. at 14, 18–21); and he then appealed, unsuccessfully
22
(id. at 13, 24- 26). The magistrate judge found the claims now raised by Plaintiff are barred by the
23
doctrine of res judicata, and recommended the action be dismissed. (Doc. 10 at 3-4.)
24
The Court served the Findings and Recommendations on Plaintiff and notified him that
25
any objections were due within 30 days. (Doc. 10 at 5.) The Court advised Plaintiff that the
26
“failure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal.”
27
(Id., citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838–39 (9th Cir. 2014).) Plaintiff did not file
28
objections, and the time to do so has passed.
1
According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court performed a de novo review of this case.
2
Having carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes the Findings and Recommendations
3
are supported by the record and proper analysis. Thus, the Court ORDERS:
4
1. The Findings and Recommendations issued on September 18, 2024 (Doc. 10) are
5
ADOPTED in full.
6
2. This action is DISMISSED with prejudice, as barred by res judicata.
7
3. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.
