CURTIS HIGHTOWER,

HIGH DESERT STATE PRISON, et al.,

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 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. 

On January 9, 2014, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein, ECF 

No. 154, 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. Plaintiff 

has filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this 

court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire 

file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by 

proper analysis.
