UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARREN DERAY SASSER, SR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

P. COVELO, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:24-cv-00247-DC-EFB (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISMISSING 

THIS ACTION

(Doc. No. 8)

Plaintiff Darren DeRay Sasser, Sr., is a state prisoner appearing pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred 

to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On October 31, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations 

recommending this action be dismissed, without prejudice, due to Plaintiff’s failure to state a 

cognizable claim, failure to prosecute this action, and failure to comply with a court order. (Doc. 

No. 8.) Specifically, Plaintiff has failed to comply with the court’s order dated July 22, 2024, in 

which Plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed due to his failure to state a cognizable claim and 

Plaintiff was directed to file a first amended complaint within thirty days. (Doc. No. 5.) Plaintiff 

did not thereafter file a first amended complaint. The pending findings and recommendations 

were served on Plaintiff and contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within

fourteen (14) days after service. (Doc. No. 8 at 2.) To date, no objections to the findings and

recommendations have been filed, and the time in which to do so has now passed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this court has conducted a 

de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court concludes that the 

findings and recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Accordingly:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on October 31, 2024 (Doc. No. 8) are 

adopted in full;

2. This action is dismissed, without prejudice, due to Plaintiff’s failure to state a 

cognizable claim, failure to prosecute this action, and failure to comply with a 

court order; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
