No. 2:21-cv-01992 DJC AC
Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
MUNICIPALTY OF FRESNO COUNTY,
et al.,
Defendants.
17
18
Plaintiff, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action
19
seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States
20
Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
21
On May 21, 2024, the Magistrate Judge filed findings and recommendations
22
herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that
23
any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen
24
days. (ECF No. 155.) Neither party filed objections to the findings and
25
recommendations.
26
The Court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to
27
be supported by the record and by the Magistrate Judge’s analysis. Having
28
considered the factors in Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992) the
1
1
Court finds that dismissal is appropriate. Given the significant time and resources that
2
have been devoted to this case, however, the Court will dismiss this action with
3
prejudice. As this was not the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, the Court
4
issued an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed with prejudice.
5
(ECF No. 156.) Plaintiff did not file a response.
6
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
7
1. The Findings and Recommendations of the Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 155)
8
9
are ADOPTED IN PART.
2. This action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE pursuant to Federal Ruel of Civil
10
11
Procedure 41(b).
3. The pending motions for summary judgment (ECF Nos. 135, 144) are
12
13
DENIED AS MOOT.
4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
