UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EMANUEL LEWIS BOONE,

Plaintiff,

v.

TAPIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-01281-AWI-BAM (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING 

DISMISSAL OF CERTAIN CLAIMS AND 

DEFENDANTS

(ECF No. 13)

Plaintiff Emanuel Lewis Boone (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On November 12, 2020, the assigned Magistrate Judge issued findings and 

recommendations recommending that this action proceed on Plaintiff’s first amended complaint, 

filed November 6, 2020, (ECF No. 10), on a cognizable claim for excessive force in violation of 

the Eighth Amendment against Defendants Tapia and Felix, a cognizable claim for failure to 

protect against Defendants Arroyo and Jimenez, and a cognizable Due Process claim against 

Defendants Tapia, Arroyo, and Jimenez. (ECF No. 13.) The Magistrate Judge further 

recommended that all other claims and defendants 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.
