UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Curtis Boyd is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On April 1, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed a Findings and Recommendations which was 

served on the parties and which contained notice to the parties that objections to the Findings and 

Recommendations were to be filed within thirty days. Defendant filed objections on April 23, 2015. 

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

novo review of this case. Given the circumstances of this case (as explained in the Findings and 

Recommendation), the Court finds that Plaintiff has exhausted the administrative remedies with 

respect to his First Amendment claim against C. Etchebehere. Thus, having carefully reviewed the 

entire file, including Defendant’s objections, the Court finds the Findings and Recommendations to be 

supported by the record and by proper analysis.
