MISSOULA DIVISION

CV 17-22-M-DLC-JCL

DOUGLAS JAMES CARNELL,
Plaintiff,

ORDER
vs.
BRANDY HOUSER, et al.,
Defendants.
United States Magistrate Judge Jeremiah C. Lynch entered his Findings and
Recommendations in this case on August 28, 2017, recommending that this action
be dismissed for failure to state a claim. Plaintiff Douglas James Camell
("Camell") failed to timely object to the findings and recommendations, and so
waived the right to de novo review of the record. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). The
Court will therefore review the record for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp.
v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981).

After reviewing the record and finding no clear error,
IT IS ORDERED that Judge Lynch's Findings and Recommendations (Doc.
8) is ADOPTED IN FULL.
(1)

This matter is DISMISSED.

The Clerk of Court is directed to close this matter and enter

(3)

The Clerk of Court is directed to have the docket reflect that this
dismissal counts as a strike pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) based
upon Camell' s failure to state a claim.

(4)

The Clerk of Court is directed to have the docket reflect that the
Court certifies pursuant to Rule 24(a)(3)(A) of the Federal Rules of
Appellate Procedure that any appeal of this decision would not be
taken in good faith. The record makes plain the instant Complaint
lacks arguable substance in law or fact.
