No. 2:21-cv-00748-KJM-JDP (PC)

ORDER

STATE OF CALFORNIA, et al,
Defendants.

Plaintiffs, proceeding pro se, have filed this civil rights action seeking relief under
42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge as provided by
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
On June 16, 2022, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, which were
served on plaintiffs, and which contained notice to plaintiffs that any objections to the findings
and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Plaintiffs have not filed objections
to the findings and recommendations.
The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States,
602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed
de novo. See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law
by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court
1

1

. . . .”). Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be

2

supported by the record and by the proper analysis.

3

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

4

1. The findings and recommendations filed June 16, 2022, are adopted in full;

5

2. Plaintiffs’ amended complaint, ECF No. 15, is dismissed without leave to amend for

failure to state a cognizable claim; and
3. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.
DATED: September 15, 2022.
