UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

----oo0oo----

DANNY MILLER,

NO. CIV. S 01-1374 MCE CMK P

Plaintiff,

v. ORDER

ROSANNE CAMPBELL, et al.,

Defendants.

----oo0oo----

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a

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).

On February 22, 2005, Magistrate Judge Kellison filed the

attached findings and recommendations, recommending that

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment be granted. The February

22, 2005, findings and recommendations were served on Plaintiff

and returned as undeliverable on February 25, 2005. Judge

Kellison’s findings and recommendations contained notice to

 A review of the docket indicates that Plaintiff has 1

continually failed to notify the Court of his current address. 

(Docs. 17, 52 and 59.)

2

Plaintiff that any objections to the findings and recommendations

were to be filed within ten (10) days. 

On March 3, 2005, the magistrate judge filed a second set of

findings and recommendations, recommending that Plaintiff’s case

be dismissed pursuant to Local Rule 83-183(b) for failure to keep

the Court appraised of his current address. Plaintiff filed a

change of address on March 7, 2005. 

On March 9, 2005, the Court ordered the Clerk to re-serve

the February 22, 2005, findings and recommendations on Plaintiff

at his new address. However, due to a clerical error, the March

3, 2005, findings and recommendations were served on Plaintiff,

instead of the February 22, 2005, findings and recommendations. 

On March 24, 2005, the Court re-served the February 22,

2005, findings and recommendations on Plaintiff at his new

address. These documents were returned by the postal service as

undeliverable on March 31, 2005.

Although the February 22, 2005, findings and recommendations

were returned as undeliverable, Plaintiff was properly served. 

Local Rule 83-182(f) (“Absent [change of address] notice, service

of documents at the prior address of the attorney or party shall

be fully effective.”). It is Plaintiff’s responsibility to keep

the Court appraised of his current address at all times. 

1

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)

and Local Rule 72-304, the Court has conducted a de novo review

of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the

Court finds the magistrate’s findings and recommendations to be

supported by the record. Plaintiff has failed to raise

sufficient evidence to establish a genuine issue of material fact

as to whether Defendants violated the 8th Amendment. Fed. Trade

Comm’n v. Publ’g Clearing House, Inc., 104 F.3d 1168, 1171 (9th

Cir. 1997) (“A conclusory, self-serving affidavit, lacking

detailed facts and any supporting evidence, is insufficient to

create a genuine issue of material fact.”).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. The February 22, 2005, findings and recommendations are

adopted in full; and

2. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 18, 2005
