UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Steve Rivers (“Plaintiff”), a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

initiated this civil rights action on February 23, 2015. On January 28, 2016, the magistrate judge 

issued findings and recommendations recommending dismissal of Defendants Audrey King and Phil 

Lam, M.D., from this action for failure to state a claim. (ECF No. 13.) Plaintiff was provided an 

opportunity to file objections within fourteen (14) days after service. (Id. at 2.) More than fourteen 

(14) days have passed and no objections were filed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 305, 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 proper analysis.
