No. 2:17-cv-2041 KJM AC P
Plaintiff,

v.

ORDER
PURUSHOTTAMA SAGIREDDY,
15
Defendants.
16
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief
17
18
under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge as provided
19
by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
20
On April 22, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, which were
21
served on plaintiff and which contained notice to plaintiff that any objections to the findings and
22
recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days. ECF No. 22. Plaintiff has not filed
23
objections to the findings and recommendations.1
The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States,
24
25
602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed
26
de novo. See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law

It appears plaintiff is deceased. See ECF No. 26. Nevertheless, this action may proceed if an
appropriate successor or representative is substituted for plaintiff. Id.
1
1
by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court
2
. . . .”). Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be
3
supported by the record and by the proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
5
1. The findings and recommendations filed April 22, 2020, are adopted in full;
6
2. Defendants Edmund G. Brown, Jr., and Dr. Jeffrey Beard are dismissed from this
