EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSHUA A. WILLARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

MORENO,

Defendant.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:14-cv-00521-LJO-JLT (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DENYING

DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS

(Docs. 15, 19)

Plaintiff, Joshua A. Willard, is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil 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. 

On July 9, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed a Findings and Recommendations to deny 

Defendant's motion to dismiss. (Doc. 19.) The Findings and Recommendations were served that 

same day and contained provisions for the parties to file objections within thirty days. Despite 

lapse of more than sufficient time, neither side has filed any objections to the Findings and 

Recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), the 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 by proper analysis.
