UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID SAFIDI CAUTHEN, JR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

RIVERA et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:12 cv 01747 LJO DLB (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISMISSING 

CERTAIN CLAIMS AND DEFENDANTS

(Document 12)

Plaintiff David Safidi Cauthen, Jr. (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on October 26, 2012. 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 April 30, 2013, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations to dismiss 

certain claims and certain Defendants. The Findings and Recommendations were served on Plaintiff 

and contained notice that any objections to the Findings and Recommendations were to be filed 

within thirty days. Plaintiff received an extension of time, but did not file any objections.

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

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

and Recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis.
