Civil No. 05-CV-922-L(NLS)

ORDER ADOPTING THE REPORT

AND RECOMMENDATION;

GRANTING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO DISMISS; AND 

GRANTING PLAINTIFF LEAVE TO

FILE AN AMENDED COMPLAINT

AS TO CERTAIN CLAIMS

On April 29, 2005, Bobby Joe Daniels ("plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se,

filed this action alleging violation of his constitutional rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. After the

Court granted defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings [doc. #69], plaintiff filed an

Amended Complaint on September 13, 2006 [doc. #87] that is the subject of the current motion

to dismiss [doc. #92]. United States Magistrate Judge Nita L. Stormes issued a Report and

Recommendation ("Report") on November 6, 2006, which recommended granting defendants’

motion to dismiss and granting leave to amend as to plaintiff’s first amendment retaliation claim

and his eighth amendment failure to protect claim only. 

The parties were advised that objections to the Report and Recommendation were due by

December 4, 2006. To date, neither party has submitted objections to the Report.

The district court’s role in reviewing a Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation is

set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Under this statute, the district court “shall make a de novo

determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made,” and “may accept,

reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate

judge.” Id. Under this statute, “the district judge must review the magistrate judge’s findings

and recommendations de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise.” United States v. ReynaTapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 124 S.Ct. 238 (2003).

Having carefully reviewed the Report, the motion papers, and the file in this case, the

Court finds that the magistrate judge has submitted a thorough and well-reasoned analysis of

plaintiff’s claims and the law as it is applied to a motion to dismiss. Because there have been no

objections raised, and the Court finds the recommendations of the magistrate judge well taken, 

IT IS ORDERED adopting the November 6, 2006 Report and Recommendation in its entirety

[doc. #106]. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting defendants’ motion to dismiss [doc. #92]. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting plaintiff leave to filed a Second Amended Complaint

with respect to his first amendment retaliation claim and his eighth amendment failure to protect

claim only. All other claims that plaintiff has alleged in his First Amended Complaint are

dismissed with prejudice. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall have thirty days

from the date this Order is filed in which to file a Second Amended Complaint in conformity

with the Report and Recommendation and this Order. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing

plaintiff to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8 if he intends to file a Second

Amended Complaint. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
