UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KARLIS RUBEN AUGUSTUS 

HOWARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

RODRIGUEZ, 

 Defendant.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00285 JLT SAB (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DENYING 

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR TEMPORARY 

RESTRAINING ORDER

(Docs. 19, 21)

Karlis Ruben Augustus Howard seeks to hold Defendant Rodriguez liable for a violation 

of his civil rights and negligence in this action. (See Doc. 16.) Plaintiff now seeks a temporary 

restraining order against inmate Scott Stansell, asserting that he assaulted Plaintiff and caused 

physical injury. (Doc. 19.) 

The magistrate judge found Plaintiff failed to show he was entitled to the requested relief 

and recommended the motion be denied. (Doc. 21.) The Court served the Findings and 

Recommendations on Plaintiff and notified him that any objections were due within 14 days. 

(Id. at 5.) The Court advised Plaintiff that the “failure to file objections within the specified time 

may result in the waiver of rights on appeal.” (Id., citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 

838-39 (9th Cir. 2014).) Plaintiff did not file objections, and the time to do so has passed. 

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court performed a de novo review of this case. 

Having carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes the Findings and Recommendations
