vs.

D. RUNNELS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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 General Order No. 262.

On May 5, 2006, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein

which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to

the findings and recommendations were to be filed within thirty days. Plaintiff has filed

objections to the findings and recommendations and a supporting declaration.1

135(b). Since an attorney has filed a document with the court on behalf of defendants,

documents submitted by plaintiff must be served on that attorney and not on the defendant. Fed.

R. Civ. P. 5(b)(1). Conventional service is usually accomplished by mailing a copy of the

document to the attorney’s address of record. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(B). Plaintiff must

include with every document filed in this action a certificate stating the date an accurate copy of

the document was mailed to defendants’ attorney and the address to which it was mailed. See

Local Rule 5-135(b) and (c).

2

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 72-

304, 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.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed May 5, 2006, are adopted in full; and

2. Defendants’ November 16, 2005 motion for summary judgment is granted and

judgment is entered in their favor. 

DATED: 9/28/2006
