UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCOS CASEY GUILLEN, III, 

 Plaintiff,

 v.

M. PALMER,

 Defendant.

Case No. 1:19-cv-00958-LJO-EPG (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

(ECF NOS. 1 & 7)

Marcos Casey Guillen, III (“Plaintiff”), is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this 

civil rights action. 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 November 6, 2019, Magistrate Judge Erica P. Grosjean entered findings and 

recommendations, recommending that “[t]his case proceed on Plaintiff’s claims against 

Defendant Palmer for violation of Plaintiff’s First Amendment right to free exercise of religion 

and for violation of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000,” and that 

“[a]ll other claims be dismissed.” (ECF No. 7, pgs. 8-9).

Plaintiff was provided an opportunity to file objections to the findings and 

recommendations. The deadline for filing objections has passed, and Plaintiff has not filed 

objections to the findings and recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, 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.
