IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRYAN E. RANSOM 1:05-cv-00283-AWI-GSA-PC

vs. ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS TO DISMISS

CERTAIN DEFENDANTS AND

ROJAS, et al., CLAIMS FROM THIS ACTION

(Doc. 14)

Defendants.

_____________________________/

Bryan E. Ransom (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

action pursuant to 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 72-302. 

 On November 15, 2007, findings and recommendations were entered, recommending

that certain defendants and claims be dismissed from this action, based on notice by plaintiff that he

agrees to proceed only on the cognizable retaliation claim against defendant Rojas. Plaintiff was

provided an opportunity to file objections to the findings and recommendations within twenty days. 

To date, plaintiff has not filed objections and, on November 29, 2007, plaintiff submitted documents

to the court for service of process on defendant Rojas only.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. ' 636 (b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 73-

305, this court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire

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

analysis.

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued by the Magistrate Judge on November 15,

prejudice, based on plaintiff's failure to state a claim under section 1983 against them;

opportunity to take showers is dismissed from this action, without prejudice, for failure to state a

cognizable Eighth Amendment claim against him; and

4. This action now proceeds only against defendant Rojas on plaintiff's retaliation claim;

and

5. This action is referred back to the Magistrate Judge for service of process.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
