UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN CLARK,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFFREY MACOMBER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-3051-TLN-CKD

ORDER

Plaintiff Steven Clark (“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 October 3, 2024, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations 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. The deadline has passed, and no 

objections have been filed.

The Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 

F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. 

See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law by the 

magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court[.]”). 

Having reviewed the file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

2. Claims arising under the Eighth Amendment for denial of adequate medical care 

against defendants Dr. S. Chen and Dr. Jian Ma in their official capacities are 

DISMISSED; and

3. This matter is referred back to the magistrate judge for further pretrial proceedings.

Date: December 2, 2024
