EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DeWAYNE THOMPSON, 

 

Plaintiff, 

 

vs. 

 

ADAMS, et al., 

 Defendants. 

Case No. 1:13-cv-00655-AWI-SKO (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR 

SUMMARY JUDGMENT 

(Docs. 45, 56)

Plaintiff, DeWayne Thompson, is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis 

with 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 302. This action is 

proceeding on two claims under the Eighth Amendment in Plaintiff’s Fourth Amended Complaint 

(Doc. 21) against: (1) Defendants Felix, Harmon, Pendergrass, and Cruz for failing to 

decontaminate Plaintiff following the application of pepper spray (“decontamination claim”); and 

(2) Defendant Brodie for depriving Plaintiff of outdoor exercise (“exercise claim”). (See Doc. 23, 

Screen F&R; Doc. 25, Screening Order.) 

Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 45.) On August 5, 2016, the 

Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations to deny the motion which was served 

that same date and gave thirty days for the parties to file objections. (Doc. 56.) More than the 

allowed time has lapsed and no objections have been filed.
