ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION REGARDING

DISMISSAL OF CERTAIN CLAIMS

WITHOUT LEAVE TO AMEND

(Document 6)

Plaintiff Billy Phelps (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis, filed this civil rights action on November 2, 2009. 

On December 23, 2009, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendation that

Plaintiff’s state law claims for violation of the California Penal Code be dismissed without leave

to amend. The Findings and Recommendation was served on Plaintiff and contained notice that 1

any objections were to be filed within thirty (30) days. Over thirty (30) days have passed and

Plaintiff has not filed objections.

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

de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds that the

Findings and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper analysis.

The Magistrate Judge also recommended that the remaining claims be dismissed with leave to amend and

1

ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within thirty (30) days.

FULL;

this order. Plaintiff is only granted leave to amend his excessive force and

malicious prosecution claims. If Plaintiff attempts to amend beyond this claim, the

Court will recommend that the entire action be dismissed; and

4. Failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
