 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LOUIS RICHARD FRESQUEZ,

Plaintiff,

vs.

SOLARIO, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

1:05-cv-01441-AWI-GSA-P

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS (Doc. 18)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

Plaintiff, Louis Richard Fresquez (“plaintiff”), is a state

prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil

action. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72-302.

On November 2, 2007, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and

Recommendations herein which were served on plaintiff and which

contained notice to plaintiff that any objections to the Findings

and Recommendations were to be filed within twenty (20) days. On

December 5, 2007, plaintiff filed objections to the Magistrate

Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305, this Court has conducted a

Case 1:05-cv-01441-AWI-GSA Document 20 Filed 01/07/08 Page 1 of 2

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. In the

objections, plaintiff contends that the Court should not have

screened his complaint because his complaint was brought pursuant

to the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the Court’s screening

abilities only applies to civil rights actions. Title 28 U.S.C.

1915A(a) provides as follows: 

The court shall review, before docketing, if feasible

or, in any event, as soon as practicable after

docketing, a complaint in a civil action in which a

prisoner seeks redress from a governmental entity or

officer or employee of a governmental entity.

28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). Because Section 1915A clearly required the

Court to screen the complaint, the Court does not find that the

Magistrate Judge was incorrect to screen the complaint and order

plaintiff to file an amended complaint.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed November 2,

2007, are ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. This action is DISMISSED based on plaintiff’s failure

to obey the court’s orders of January 18, 2007 and

March 22, 2007, and for failure to state a claim upon

which relief can be granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 4, 2008 /s/ Anthony W. Ishii
