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.

3 | See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). Having
4 | reviewed the file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record
5 || and by the magistrate judge’s analysis.
6 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
7 1. The findings and recommendations filed July 13, 2020 CECF No. 91), are ADOPTED
8 | in full;
9 2. The motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 86) is GRANTED with respect to

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
14 | Richardson because no argument was presented that plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative
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,
