BRANDON EUGENE HUNTER,

Plaintiff,

Defendants.

No. 2:22-cv-1141 DJC CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action 

seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 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 August 29, 2024, the Magistrate Judge filed findings and recommendations 

herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that 

any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen 

days. Neither party has filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

The Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United 

States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The Magistrate Judge’s conclusions of law 

are reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 

(9th Cir. 1983). Having reviewed the file, the Court finds the findings and 

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