UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRANDON TAYLOR,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. ALARDO, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:19-cv-2241 DB P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff claims that defendants used excessive force against him in violation of 

his Eighth Amendment rights. 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 February 3, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein 

which were served on plaintiff and which contained notice to plaintiff that any objections to the 

findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. (ECF No. 12.) Plaintiff has 

not filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

The court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to be 

supported by the record and by the magistrate judge’s analysis.
