UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HECTOR ANDERSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

SCOTT KERNAN, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:19-cv-0255-NONE-JLT (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS TO DISMISS 

NONCOGNIZABLE CLAIMS

(Doc. No. 27)

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 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 February 6, 2020, the magistrate judge screened complaint and found that some of the 

claims could proceed, while others were not cognizable as plead. (Doc. No. 24.) The magistrate 

judge provided plaintiff the option to stand on the complaint, proceed with it as screened, or file 

an amended complaint. (Id.) Plaintiff filed a notice of his willingness to proceed on the 

complaint as screened and to dismiss the claims deemed non-cognizable. (Doc. No. 26.) The 

magistrate judge thereafter issued findings and recommendations to dismiss the non-cognizable 

claims, which were served on plaintiff and which contained notice to plaintiff that any objections 

to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. (Doc. No. 27.) 

Plaintiff has not filed objections to the findings and recommendations.
