BRANDON ALEXANDER FERNANDEZ,

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding with counsel, has 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 January 24, 2013, the Magistrate Judge filed findings and recommendations herein

(ECF No. 26) 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 twenty days. Plaintiff

has filed objections to the findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 31.)

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.
