UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

XAVIER BUCKHANAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al., 

 Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-0811 JLT SAB (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATION, DISMISSING THE 

ACTION WITHOUT PREJUDICE, AND 

DIRECTING THE CLERK OF COURT TO 

CLOSE THIS CASE

(Doc. 20)

Xavier Buckhanan is proceeding pro se in this action, filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six 

Unknown Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971) and the Federal Tort 

Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1267. The magistrate judge found Plaintiff failed to prosecute the action 

and failed to comply with the Court’s order. (Doc. 20 at 1-2.) The magistrate judge found 

dismissal of this action without prejudice was appropriate, after considering the factors identified 

by the Ninth Circuit in Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 1421, 1423 (9th Cir. 1986). (Id. at 2-3.) 

The Court served these Findings and Recommendations Plaintiff and notified him that any 

objections were due within 30 days. (Doc. 20 at 2-3.) The Court advised Plaintiff that the 

“[f]ailure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal.” 

(Id. at 4, citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 2014).) Plaintiff did not file 

objections and the time to do so expired.

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court performed a de novo review of this case.

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued on November 18, 2024 (Doc. 20) are 

ADOPTED in full. 

2. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute and 

failure to obey the Court’s order. 

3. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
