UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KWESI MUHAMMAD,

Plaintiff,

v.

CDCR,

Defendant.

Case No. 2:21-cv-02341-TLN-JDP

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, 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 November 18, 2024, 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 fourteen days. Plaintiff filed objections 

to the findings and recommendations, and Defendants have filed a response to Plaintiff’s 

objections.

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