UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

NOEL LEMUS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

COUNTY OF MERCED and 

DEFENDANT OFFICER DOES 1 

THROUGH 50, 

Defendant. 

1:14-cv-02030-KJM-GSA 

ORDER 

On December 19, 2014, plaintiff filed a civil complaint, as well as a motion to proceed in 

forma pauperis. ECF Nos. 1, 2. On January 6, 2015, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and 

Recommendations that the motion be denied. ECF No. 5. The Findings and Recommendations 

were served on plaintiff with instructions that any objections be filed within fifteen (15) days. To 

date, no objections have been filed. 

The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 

F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. 

See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). Having reviewed 

the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by 

the proper analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1) The Findings and Recommendations dated January 6, 2015 (ECF No. 5), are 

ADOPTED IN FULL;
