UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLARENCE VINSON KNIGHT,

Plaintiff,

v.

MARION E. SPEARMAN,

Defendants.

No. 2:19-cv-01183-TLN-GGH

ORDER

Plaintiff Clarence Vinson Knight (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed 

this civil rights action seeking relief under 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 302.

On December 2, 2019, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations which 

were served on Plaintiff and which contained notice to Plaintiff that any objections to the findings 

and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. (ECF No. 8.) Plaintiff has not filed 

any objections to the findings and recommendations. 

Accordingly, the Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. 

United States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are 

reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 

1983); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

Having reviewed the file under the applicable legal standards, the Court finds the Findings 

and Recommendations to be supported by the record and by the magistrate judge’s analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations filed December 2, 2019 (ECF No. 8), are adopted 

in full; and

2. This action is DISMISSED, without prejudice, for lack of prosecution and for failure to 

comply with the Court’s order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Local Rule 110. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: January 8, 2020
