Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

14

DIRECTOR OF CDCR, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
17

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

18

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

19

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

20

On March 7, 2022, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which

21

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

22

were to be filed within fourteen (14) days. ECF No. 69. Neither party filed objections to the

23

findings and recommendations.

24

The Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602

25

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

26

See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). Having

27

reviewed the file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record

28

and by the magistrate judge’s analysis.
