UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARD RINGGOLD,

Plaintiff,

v.

BURGETT INC., et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:22-cv-00836-DAD-CKD

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND GRANTING 

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS, 

WITH LEAVE TO AMEND

(Doc. Nos. 22, 34)

Plaintiff Edward Ringgold, proceeding pro se, initiated this civil action on May 18, 2022. 

(Doc. No. 1.) 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 January 4, 2023, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations 

recommending that defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiff’s second, third, and fourth claims 

(Doc. No. 22) be granted, and that plaintiff be granted an opportunity to file a second amended 

complaint to attempt to cure the defects identified with respect to those three claims. (Doc. No. 

34.) 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 16.) To date, no 

objections to the findings and recommendations have been filed, and the time in which to do so 

has now passed.
