CHRISTOPHER LIPSEY, JR.,

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS THAT PLAINTIFF

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil rights action brought 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The court has referred this matter to a magistrate judge under 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On August 2, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations 

that plaintiff proceed on his medical deliberate indifference claims against defendants Depovic 

and Grewall, and that all other claims and defendants be dismissed. ECF No. 13. Plaintiff filed 

objections, and then withdrew them. ECF No. 17. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, this 

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

court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper analysis.
