UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERALD SPENCE,

Plaintiff,

v.

MCCORKLE, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-0953-TLN-CKD

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this 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) and Local Rule 302.

On January 9, 2024, 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. The time to file objections 

has passed, and Plaintiff did not file objections.

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 magistrate judge’s analysis.
