UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRENT LEE HARDING,

Plaintiff,

v.

AARON DE CANIO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:21-cv-02239-DJC-JDP (PS)

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action. 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 December 7, 2023, the Magistrate Judge filed 

findings and recommendations herein which were served on Plaintiff and which 

contained notice that any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be 

filed within fourteen days. No objections were filed.

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 Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) 

(“[D]eterminations of law by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the 

district court and [the appellate] court . . . .”). Having reviewed the file, the Court finds 

the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by the proper

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The proposed Findings and Recommendations filed December 7, 2023, are 

ADOPTED;
