UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Abel Valencia is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On September 23, 2015, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations 

recommending that Plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend be granted, reinstating Plaintiff’s official 

capacity claim against Defendant Jeffrey Beard for injunctive relief, and striking the first amended 

complaint from the record.

The Findings and Recommendations were served on the parties and contained notice that 

objections were to be filed within thirty days. The thirty day time frame has expired and neither party 

filed objections. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), the 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.

ABEL VALENCIA,

 Plaintiff,
