UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ADAM RANDOLPH POWELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFF LYNCH, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-00875-DC-DMC (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND GRANTING 

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS 

WITH LEAVE TO AMEND

(Doc. Nos. 21, 29)

Plaintiff Adam Randolph Powell is a state prisoner proceeding 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 September 23, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and 

recommendations recommending that Defendants’ motion to dismiss (Doc. No. 21) be granted 

and that Plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed with leave to amend. (Doc. No. 29.) The findings and 

recommendations were served on the parties and contained notice that any objections thereto 

were to be filed within fourteen (14) days after service. (Id. at 8.) 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.
