UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

COLEMAN KENYATTA SMITH, JR., 

 Plaintiff,

 v.

S. PONCE, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case No. 1:18-cv-01197-AWI-EPG (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

(ECF NOS. 12 & 14)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

ORDER FOR CLERK TO CLOSE CASE

Coleman Smith, Jr. (“Plaintiff”), is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights 

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States 

magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

On October 15, 2019, Magistrate Judge Erica P. Grosjean entered findings and 

recommendations, recommending that “[t]his action be DISMISSED, with prejudice, based on 

Plaintiff’s failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.” (ECF No. 14, p. 7). 

Plaintiff was provided an opportunity to file objections to the findings and 

recommendations. The deadline to file objections has passed, and Plaintiff has not filed 

objections or otherwise responded to the findings and recommendations. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, this 

Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, 

the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper 

analysis.
