Plaintiff,

v.

F. REYNOSO, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00732-AWI-SMS PC

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS, AND DISMISSING

CERTAIN CLAIMS

(Docs. 12 and 17)

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE A

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT WITHIN

THIRTY DAYS, LIMITED TO MEDICAL

CARE CLAIM 

Plaintiff Miles Orlando Bonty (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 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 72-302.

On March 3, 2008, the Magistrate Judge filed a Findings and Recommendations herein which

was served on Plaintiff and which contained notice to Plaintiff that any objection to the Findings and

Recommendations was to be filed within thirty days. Plaintiff filed an Objection to the Findings and

Recommendations on March 24, 2008 and March 28, 2008.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305, this

Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the

Court finds the Findings andRecommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.

In the objections, Plaintiff contends that the court should not have found this action duplicative of

 Bonty v. Escutia, 1:07-cv-00428-LJO-GSA PC because Plaintiff is appealing the dismissal of Bonty

v. Escutia, 1:07-cv-00428-LJO-GSA PC with prejudice. If Plaintiff is successful in overturning

the court’s ruling in Bonty v. Escutia, 1:07-cv-00428-LJO-GSA PC, the Ninth Circuit will remand

that case to this court. Plaintiff will not need to file a new action. Thus, the objections do not

provide a basis to not adopt the Findings and Recommendations.

2. Plaintiff’s excessive force claims are dismissed, with prejudice, as barred by the

doctrine of res judicata;

3. Plaintiff’s retaliation claim is dismissed, with prejudice, as barred by the doctrine of

res judicata;

4. Plaintiff’s Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment claims arising from the inmate appeals

process are dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to state a claim upon which relief

may be granted under section 1983;

5. Plaintiff’s claims for equitable relief are dismissed; and 

6. Plaintiff is granted one opportunity to amend to cure the deficiencies in his Eighth

Amendment medical care claim but is precluded from including any other claims in

a second amended complaint;

7. The Clerk’s Office shall send Plaintiff a complaint form;

8. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall file a

second amended complaint which complies with this order; and

9. The failure to file a second amended complaint in compliance with this order will

result in dismissal of this action, with prejudice, for failure to state a claim.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
