UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAPHAEL GRAHAM,

Plaintiff,

v.

WRIGHT,

Defendant.

No. 1:22-cv-00504-ADA-BAM (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING 

DISMISSAL OF CERTAIN CLAIMS

(ECF No. 12)

Plaintiff Raphael Graham is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On August 1, 2022, the assigned Magistrate Judge issued findings and recommendations 

suggesting that this action proceed on Plaintiff’s first amended complaint, filed July 25, 2022. 

(ECF No. 11.) That complaint charges Defendant Wright with violating the Fourth Amendment 

on September 13, 2021 for conducting a strip search with an activated body camera, exposing 

Plaintiff’s genitals on camera, and retaliating against Plaintiff in violation of the First 

Amendment. (ECF No. 12.) The Magistrate Judge further recommended that all other claims be 

dismissed from this action based on Plaintiff’s failure to state claims upon which relief may be 

granted. (Id.) The findings and recommendations were served on Plaintiff and contained notice 

that any objections were to be filed within fourteen (14) days after service. (Id. at 8.) No 

objections have been filed, and the deadline to do so has expired.

adopted in full’

2. This action shall proceed on Plaintiff’s first amended complaint, filed July 25, 

2022, (ECF No. 11), against Defendant Wright for conducting a strip search on 

September 13, 2021 with an activated body camera in violation of the Fourth 

Amendment and for retaliation in violation of the First Amendment;

3. All other claims are dismissed from this action for failure to state a claim upon 

which relief may be granted; and

4. This action is referred back to the Magistrate Judge for proceedings consistent 

with this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
