11 RONNIE CHEROKEE BROWN, No. 2:19-cv-02304-TLN-KJN
12 Plaintiff,
13 v. ORDER
14 D. HENRY,
15 Defendant.

17 Plaintiff Ronnie Cherokee Brown (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has
18 filed this civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a
19 United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
20 On December 17, 2019, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein
21 which were served on Plaintiff and which contained notice to Plaintiff that any objections to the
22 findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. (ECF No. 12.) Plaintiff
23 filed objections to the Findings and Recommendations. (ECF No. 16.)
24 This Court reviews de novo those portions of the proposed findings of fact to which
25 objection has been made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore
26 Business Machines, 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 920 (1982). As
27 to any portion of the proposed findings of fact to which no objection has been made, the Court
28 assumes its correctness and decides the motions on the applicable law. See Orand v. United
1 States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are
2 reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified Sch. Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983).
3 Having carefully reviewed the entire file under the applicable legal standards, the Court
4 finds the Findings and Recommendations to be supported by the record and by the magistrate
5 judge’s analysis.
6 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
7 1. The Findings and Recommendations filed December 17, 2019, are adopted in full;
8 2. Plaintiff’s Fourteenth Amendment claim is DISMISSED with prejudice; and
9 3. This action proceeds solely on Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claim against Defendant
10 D. Henry.
11 IT IS SO ORDERED
