UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRANDON EUGENE HUNTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:22-cv-01282-DC-EFB (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISMISSING 

THIS ACTION

(Doc. Nos. 28, 40)

Plaintiff Brandon Eugene Hunter is a county jail inmate proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This 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 31, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations 

recommending that this action be dismissed, without prejudice, due to Plaintiff’s failure to 

prosecute and failure to comply with court orders. (Doc. No. 40.) In particular, Plaintiff failed to 

timely file an opposition or statement of non-opposition to Defendants’ pending motion for 

summary judgment (Doc. No. 28), even after receiving an extension of time in which to do so 

(Doc. No. 35). The pending findings and recommendations were served on the parties and 

contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen (14) days after 

service. (Doc. No. 40 at 3.) To date, no objections to the findings and recommendations have 

been filed, and the time in which to do so has now passed.

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 concludes that the 

findings and recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Accordingly:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on October 31, 2024 (Doc. No. 40) are 

adopted in full;

2. This action is dismissed, without prejudice, due to Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute 

this action and failure to comply with court orders; 

3. Defendants’ pending motion for summary judgment (Doc. No. 28) is denied as 

having been rendered moot by this order; and

4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
