UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KYREE BREEDLOVE,

Plaintiff,

v.

V. FIGUEROA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:18-cv-01669-DAD-BAM (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS DISMISSING 

CERTAIN CLAIMS AND DEFENDANTS

(Doc. No. 11)

Plaintiff Kyree Breedlove is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a United 

States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

On May 15, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge screened the complaint and found that 

plaintiff had stated a cognizable claim for an excessive use of force in violation of the Eighth 

Amendment against defendant Figueroa but failed to state any cognizable claims against any 

other defendants. (Doc. No. 9.) Plaintiff was granted leave to file an amended complaint or 

notify the court of his willingness to proceed only on the claim found to be cognizable within 

thirty (30) days after service of the screening order. (Id. at 4–5.) On May 28, 2019, plaintiff 

notified the court of his willingness to proceed only on the cognizable claim identified by the 

magistrate judge in the screening order. (Doc. No. 10.)

Consequently, on June 3, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and 

recommendations, recommending that this action proceed on plaintiff’s claim for excessive use of 

force in violation of the Eighth Amendment against defendant Figueroa, and that all other claims 

and defendants be dismissed. (Doc. No. 11.) The findings and recommendations were served on 

plaintiff and contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen (14) 

days after service. (Id. at 5.) No objections have been filed and the time in which to do so has 

now passed. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this court has conducted a 

de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court concludes that the 

findings and recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis. 

Accordingly: 

1. The findings and recommendations issued on June 3, 2019 (Doc. No. 11) are adopted 

in full; 

2. This action shall proceed on plaintiff’s excessive use of force claim in violation of the 

Eighth Amendment against defendant Figueroa; 

3. All other claims and defendants are dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to state 

cognizable claims for relief; and 

4. This action is referred back to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings 

consistent with this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 8, 2019
