HOWARD YOUNG,

Plaintiff,

RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

vs.

LARRY SMALLS, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff Howard Young, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed an action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. Section 1983 alleging violation of his constitutional rights. The case was referred to United

States Magistrate Judge Jan M. Adler for a report and recommendation in accordance with 28 U.S.C.

Section 636(b)(1)(B) and Civil Local Rule 72.3. Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment,

which Defendants opposed. On March 2, 2012, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and

Recommendation, recommending to deny Plaintiff’s motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 56(d) without prejudice to refiling after the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of California had the opportunity to rule on Plaintiff’s motion to quash subpoenas and

Defendants have conducted discovery necessary to oppose the motion.

In reviewing a magistrate judge's report and recommendation, the district court "shall make

a de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made," and "may

accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate

OVERRULED and the Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED. Plaintiff’s motion for summary

judgment is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for the reasons stated in the Report and

Recommendation.
