UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUGENIO LUIS NOGUERAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

AUGUSTINA OJUKWU,

Defendant.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:14-cv-00470-LJO-SKO (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DENYING 

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT 

FOR FAILURE TO EXHAUST, WITH 

PREJUDICE

(Docs. 37 and 38)

Plaintiff Eugenio Luis Nogueras, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on August 21, 2012. 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 September 2, 2015, the Magistrate Judge recommended Defendant’s motion for 

summary judgment for failure to exhaust be denied, with prejudice, on the ground that the 

exhaustion requirement does not apply to former prisoners who brought suit after their release. 42 

U.S.C. § 1997e(a); Talamantes v. Leyva, 575 F.3d 1021, 1024 (9th Cir. 2009). The fifteen-day 

objection period has expired and neither party filed objections. 

The Court has conducted a de novo review of this case pursuant to the provisions of 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds the Findings and 

Recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.
