JOSEPHINE TOWNSEND, et al.,

Defendants.

13

This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”)

14 of the Honorable Karen L. Strombom, United States Magistrate Judge (Dkt. 11), and
15 Plaintiff Daniel Sanders’s (“Sanders”) objections to the R&R (Dkt. 12).
16

On December 19, 2014, Judge Strombom issued the R&R recommending that the

17 Court dismiss Sanders’s complaint for failure to state a claim. Dkt. 11. On January 2,
18 2015, Sanders filed objections to the R&R arguing that he did state a claim and submitted
19 an amended complaint. Dkt. 12 & 12-1. Sanders is attempting to suppress evidence in
20 an ongoing state court criminal trial. The Court concludes that this is not a cognizable
21 claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
