SAGI MUKATIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-00324-AWI-SMS-P

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS, DENYING

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, AND DISMISSING

CERTAIN CLAIMS AND DEFENDANTS

(Docs. 8, 11, and 15)

Plaintiff Sagi Mukatin (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in 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 72-302.

On November 21, 2005 and December 14, 2005, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and

Recommendations herein which were served on plaintiff and which contained notice to plaintiff that

any objections to the Findings and Recommendations were to be filed within thirty days. Plaintiff

did not file timely objections to either Findings and Recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305, 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 by proper analysis.
