UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALONZO JOSEPH,

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

DR. RAHIMIFAR, et al.,

 Defendants.

No. 1:18-cv-01338-NONE-GSA-PC

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS IN FULL

Doc. No. 24.)

ORDER DISMISSING THIS CASE, WITH 

PREJUDICE, FOR FAILURE TO STATE A 

CLAIM

ORDER FOR CLERK TO CLOSE CASE

Plaintiff Alonzo Joseph is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with

this civil rights action 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 April 15, 2020, findings and recommendations were entered, recommending that this 

case be dismissed due to plaintiff’s failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted 

under § 1983. (Doc. No. 24.) The court previously advised plaintiff of the deficiencies with his 

complaint and provided direction regarding the legal standards applicable to the claims he was 

attempting to assert, yet plaintiff failed to cure those defects in his amended complaint. (Oc. No.

15; Doc. No. 24 at 8–9.) Accordingly, the magistrate judge recommended dismissal without 

further leave to amend. (Id.) Plaintiff was given fourteen days in which to file objections to the 

findings and recommendations. (Id.) The fourteen-day time period has expired, and plaintiff has 

not filed objections or any other response 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. 

Accordingly, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. The findings and recommendations entered on April 15, 2020, (Doc. No. 24), are 

adopted in full;

2. This action is dismissed, with prejudice, based on Plaintiff’s failure to state a 

claim upon which relief may be granted under § 1983; and

3. The Clerk of Court is directed to assign a district judge to this matter and to close 

this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 22, 2020
