No. 2: 16-cv-2750 JAM KJN P
v.
ORDER
JOSEPH DEGAZIO, et al.,
15
Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant
18
to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 3, 2017, the undersigned recommended that defendants’ motion
19
to dismiss be granted in part and denied in part. (ECF No. 49.) On November 27, 2017, plaintiff
20
filed objections to the findings and recommendation. (ECF No. 56.) On December 4, 2017,
21
plaintiff filed amended objections. (ECF No. 57.) On December 11, 2017, defendants filed a
22
motion to strike the amended objections on the grounds that they are not permitted by the Federal
23
Rules of Civil Procedure of the Local Rules. (ECF No. 60.)
Defendants are correct that amended objections are not permitted by the Federal Rules of
24
25
Civil Procedure and Local Rules. However, in the original objections, plaintiff states that he did
26
receive the findings and recommendations. Plaintiff states that his objections are based on his
27
review of defendants’ objections.

Because plaintiff alleges that he did not receive the findings and recommendations, the

Clerk of the Court is directed to re-serve the findings and recommendations on plaintiff. Plaintiff
3
is granted thirty days from the date of this order to file new objections. Plaintiff may also choose
4
to stand on either the original objections or amended objections previously filed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
6
1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to re-serve plaintiff with the findings and
7
recommendations (ECF No. 49);

2. Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of this order to file new objections or
inform the court that he intends to stand on either the original or amended objections, previously
10
filed.
