EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD ARMENTA,

Plaintiff,

v.

BURNS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00968-NONE-BAM (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING 

DISMISSAL OF ACTION FOR FAILURE TO 

STATE A CLAIM

(Doc. No. 13)

Plaintiff Richard Armenta is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a United States 

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

complaint and issued findings and recommendations recommending that this action be dismissed

due to plaintiff’s failure to state a cognizable claim upon which relief may be granted. (Doc. No. 

13.) Those findings and recommendations were served on plaintiff and contained notice that any 

objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen (14) days after service. (Id. at 9.) Plaintiff has 

not filed objections, and the deadline to do so has expired.

magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations are supported by the record and by proper 

analysis.

Accordingly,

1. The findings and recommendations issued on September 30, 2020, (Doc. No. 13), are 

adopted in full;

2. This action is dismissed, with prejudice, due to plaintiff’s failure to state a cognizable 

claim upon which relief may be granted; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
