UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAYMOND LEE GOINS,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. DIMACULANGAN, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:18-cv-0034-TLN-CKD

ORDER

Raymond Lee Goins (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings 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 and is before the Court on 

Defendant Ashok N. Veeranki’s (“Defendant”) Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 64). Plaintiff filed 

an opposition (ECF No. 73) and Defendant replied (ECF No. 75).

On January 9, 2020, the magistrate judge assigned to this case filed Findings and 

Recommendations herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all 

parties that any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen 

days. (ECF No. 80.) Neither party filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

Accordingly, the Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. 

United States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are 

reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 

1983); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 

Having reviewed the file under the applicable legal standards, the Court finds the Findings 

and Recommendations to be supported by the record and by the magistrate judge’s analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations filed January 9, 2020 (ECF No. 80), are adopted

in full;

2. Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 64) is DENIED; and

3. Defendant shall file his Answer within fourteen days.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: March 6, 2020
