UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN C. WARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

RICHARD IVES, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:11-cv-1657-GEB-EFB P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this action alleging a 

Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”) claim and First Amendment and Eighth Amendment claims

under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 

(1971). 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 September 4, 2014, the Magistrate Judge filed an Order and Findings and 

Recommendations; the findings and recommendations contained therein concern Defendants 

United States of America, Jay Salinas, Ryan Binford, and Joe Fieber’s motion to dismiss, (ECF 

No. 44). The findings and recommendations were served on all parties and contained notice that 

any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. No 

objections to the findings and recommendations were filed.

The court has reviewed the file and finds the referenced findings and 

recommendations to be supported by the record and by the Magistrate Judge’s analysis.
