UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUGENIO LUIS NOGUERAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

S. LOPEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:12-cv-01365-LJO-SKO (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DENYING 

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

FOR FAILURE TO EXHAUST, WITH 

PREJUDICE

(Docs. 25 and 44)

Plaintiff Eugenio Luis Nogueras, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on August 21, 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 June 29, 2015, the Magistrate Judge recommended Defendant’s motion for summary 

judgment for failure to exhaust be denied, with prejudice, on the ground that the exhaustion 

requirement does not apply to former prisoners who brought suit after their release. 42 U.S.C. §

1997e(a); Talamantes v. Leyva, 575 F.3d 1021, 1024 (9th Cir. 2009). The fifteen-day objection 

period has expired and neither party filed objections. 

The Court has conducted a de novo review of this case pursuant to the provisions of 28

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds the Findings and 

Recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.
