9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

11 MICHAEL XAVIER BELL, No. 2:17-cv-00063-MCE-CKD

12 Plaintiff,

13 v. ORDER

14 MICHAEL MARTEL, et al.,

15 Defendants.

16

17 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief

18 under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to

19 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

20 On July 13, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which

21 were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the

22 findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. ECF No. 91. Neither party

23 has filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

24 Although it appears from the file that plaintiff’s copy of the findings and

25 recommendations was returned, plaintiff was properly served. It is the plaintiff’s responsibility to

26 keep the court apprised of his current address at all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f), service

27 of documents at the record address of the party is fully effective.

5 || and by the magistrate judge’s analysis.

11 | remedies. The motion is DENIED as to defendants Agapay, Gill, Go, Gatchalian, Simon,

12 || Urquidez, and Espino-Acevedo;

13 3. The motion for summary judgment is DENIED with respect to defendants Wagner and

15 | remedies concerning the claims against these defendants;

16 4. Defendants Quinto, Brown, and Spalding are DISMISSED without prejudice from this

17 || action; and

18 5. This action shall proceed against defendants Agapay, Gill, Go, Gatchalian, Simon,
