UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAMSEY BERRY,

Plaintiff,

v.

SINATRA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:24-cv-0552 JLT EPG 

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS IN FULL, 

DISMISSING THE ACTION WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE, TERMINATING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE 

PLEADINGS AS MOOT, AND DIRECTING 

THE CLERK OF COURT TO CLOSE THE 

CASE 

(Docs. 7, 13)

Ramsey Berry initiated this action by filing a complaint in Tulare County Superior Court, 

which the defendants removed to this Court in May 2024. The magistrate judge found Plaintiff 

failed to prosecute the action and failed to comply with the Court’s order. (Doc. 13 at 1-2.) The 

magistrate judge found dismissal of this action without prejudice was appropriate, after 

considering the factors identified by the Ninth Circuit in Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 

642 (9th Cir. 2002). (Id. at 3-4.) 

The Court served these Findings and Recommendations on the parties and notified 

Plaintiff that any objections were due within 30 days. (Doc. 13 at 4.) The Court advised Plaintiff

that the “[f]ailure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on 

appeal.” (Id. at 5, citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 2014).) Neither 

Plaintiff nor Defendants filed objections, and the time to do so expired.

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 

are supported by the record and proper analysis. Plaintiff has not taken any action in this matter 

following removal from the Tulare County Superior Court. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued on October 10, 2024 (Doc. 13) are 

ADOPTED in full. 

2. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute and 

failure to obey the Court’s order. 

3. Defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings (Doc. 7) is terminated as MOOT.

4. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 25, 2024
