IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PATRICK R. HOLLEY, SR.

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-2290 ALA P

vs.

J.Z. SCOTT, et al.,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

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 General Order No. 262.

On October 31, 2006, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations

recommending that defendants Schwartz, Jones, Cullen, Piazza, Grannis and Cry be dismissed

from this action. That filing also recommended that plaintiff’s claims of a denial of First

Amendment right of access to the courts against defendants O’Ran, Scott, Rogers, Cheng and

Imhoff also be dismissed and that this action only proceed against these defendants as to

plaintiff’s claims of retaliation. Plaintiff was given twenty days after service to file objections

with the court. No objections were filed. 

Also on October 31, 2006, the magistrate judge ordered plaintiff to complete and return

to the court, within 30 days, the USM-285 forms necessary to effect service on defendants. 30

days passed and plaintiff did not respond in any way to the court’s order. On January 11, 2007,

the magistrate judge again filed findings and recommendations herein 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 twenty days. Those findings and recommendations

recommended that this action be dismissed due to plaintiff’s failure to respond to the court’s

order. No objections were filed.

The court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to be

supported by the record and by the magistrate judge’s analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY

ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed January 11, 2007, are adopted in full;

and 

2. The findings and recommendations filed October 31, 2006, are rendered moot;

and

3. Plaintiff’s claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is dismissed with prejudice. 

DATED: August 17, 2007
