UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON BERG,

Plaintiff,

v.

I. GUERRA et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:14-cv-01112-DAD-EPG

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

(Doc. No. 16)

Plaintiff Jason Berg is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action filed 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This case now proceeds on plaintiff’s first amended complaint filed 

on October 26, 2015. (Doc. No. 1.) 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 July 29, 2016, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations, 

recommending that this action proceed only against defendant Michael Vu on plaintiff’s claims 

for violations of substantive and procedural due process, and against defendants I. Guerra and A. 

Salzman on plaintiff’s claim alleging a failure to provide medical treatment. The assigned 

magistrate judge further recommended that all other claims and defendants be dismissed from this 

action based on plaintiff’s failure to state cognizable claims. (Doc. No. 16.) Plaintiff was 

provided an opportunity to file objections to the findings and recommendations within thirty days.

Plaintiff filed objections to the findings and recommendations on September 1, 2016. (Doc. No. 

19.) 

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, 

including plaintiff’s objections, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported 

by the record and proper analysis. 

Accordingly, 

1. The July 29, 2016 findings and recommendations (Doc. No. 16) are adopted in 

full;

2. This action now proceeds on the following claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in 

plaintiff’s first amended complaint (Doc. No. 12): (1) against defendant Michael 

Vu based on alleged violations of substantive and procedural due process, and (2) 

against defendants I. Guerra and A. Salzman based on alleged failure to provide 

medical treatment in the form of physical therapy; and 

3. All remaining claims and defendants are dismissed from this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 6, 2017
