UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICKY RIVERA,

Plaintiff,

v.

DAVE DAVEY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01817-AWI-BAM (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING 

DISMISSAL OF CERTAIN CLAIMS AND 

DEFENDANTS

(ECF No. 33)

Plaintiff Ricky Rivera 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.

On February 11, 2020, the assigned Magistrate Judge issued findings and 

recommendations recommending that this action proceed on Plaintiff’s second amended 

complaint against Defendants Robicheaux, Chapoleun, and Crain for violations of the Free 

Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and against Defendant Davey for a deficient policy that 

violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, and that all other claims and 

defendants be dismissed from the action. (ECF No. 33.) The 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 12.) No objections have been filed and the time in which 

to do so has now passed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a 

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds that the 

findings and recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on February 11, 2020, (ECF No. 33), 

are adopted in full;

2. This action shall proceed on Plaintiff’s second amended complaint, filed on 

September 20, 2019, (ECF No. 32), against Defendants Robicheaux, Chapoleun, 

and Crain for violations of the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and 

against Defendant Davey for a deficient policy that violates the Free Exercise 

Clause of the First Amendment; 

3. All other claims and defendants are dismissed from this action based on Plaintiff’s 

failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted; and

4. This action is referred back to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further 

proceedings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 13, 2020
