UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHELLE (a/k/a MYCHAL) 

CONCEPCION,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:18-cv-01743-NONE-JLT (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

(Doc. No. 19)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This 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 29, 2020, the assigned magistrate judge screened plaintiff’s first amended 

complaint (Doc. No. 15) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and found that it states cognizable claims 

under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments and the Affordable Care Act, but it improperly 

names J.C. Kelso and J. Carrick as defendants. (Doc. No. 16.) Pursuant to the screening order, 

plaintiff filed a notice that he “wishes to proceed only on his claims against CDCR, CCHCS, Diaz 

in his official capacity, and the Doe defendants and to dismiss Kelso and Carrick as defendants.”

(Doc. No. 18.) Accordingly, on February 13, 2020, the magistrate judge issued findings and 

recommendations, recommending that Kelso and Carrick be dismissed. (Doc. No. 19.) The

findings and recommendations were served on plaintiff and provided 14 days to file objections 

thereto. (Id. at 2.) Plaintiff has not filed objections and the time do so has passed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this court has conducted a 

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and 

recommendations to be supported by the record and proper analysis.

Accordingly,

1. The findings and recommendations issued on February 13, 2020 (Doc. No. 19) are 

adopted in full;

2. Defendants J.C. Kelso and J. Carrick are dismissed; and,

3. This case is referred back to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
