UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Larcenia Taylor (“Plaintiff”) is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this action for

discrimination by the United States Department of Commerce (“Defendant”). On March 28, 2013, the 

Court screened Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint and determined Plaintiff’s claim for a violation of 

the First Amendment fails as a matter of law, and Plaintiff failed to allege facts supporting her claim 

that Defendant is liable for a violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981. (Doc. 7). Accordingly, the Magistrate 

Judge recommended dismissal of these claims. 

The Findings and Recommendations contained a notice that any objections were to be filed 

within fourteen days of service, or by April 11, 2013. (Doc. 7 at 7). Plaintiff was advised failure to file

timely objections may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Id. However, to date, 

Plaintiff has not filed objections to the recommendation that these claims be dismissed. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C) and Britt v. Simi Valley United 

School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983), this Court has conducted a de novo review of the case.
