JUSTIN LOMAKO,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00205-OWW-SMS PC

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS, DISMISSING

CERTAIN CLAIMS AND DEFENDANTS,

AND REFERRING MATTER BACK TO

MAGISTRATE JUDGE

(Docs. 22 and 26)

Plaintiff Justin Lomako, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on February 7, 2007. The matter was referred to a United States

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On June 23, 2010, the Magistrate Judge screened Plaintiff’s fourth amended complaint and

recommended that the action proceed against Defendants Maldonado and Leal on Plaintiff’s Eighth

Amendment claim, and the other claims and defendants be dismissed. Plaintiff was given thirty days

within which to file an Objection. The time period has expired and to date, no Objection has been

filed. 

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 entire file, the Court finds the Findings

and Recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.
