Plaintiff,

No. 12:11-cv-2475-KJM-CMK-P

vs.
MICHAEL D. MCDONALD, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
/

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action

18

seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate

19

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

20

On June 26, 2012, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations,

21

which were served on the parties and which contained notice to the parties that any objections to

22

the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. No objections to the

23

findings and recommendations have been filed.

24

The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United

25

States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are

26

reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir.
1

1

1983). Having carefully reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to

2

be supported by the record and by the proper analysis.

3

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

4

1. The findings and recommendations filed June 26, 2012 are adopted in full; and

5

2. Gower is dismissed as a defendant to this action.

6

DATED: January 8, 2013.
