UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUIS MANUEL GARCES,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. GAMBOA,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:21-cv-00392-JLT-EPG (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

(Docs. 94, 117)

Luis Manuel Garces filed a request for entry of default against Gamboa, Babb, and 

Sanders. (Doc. 94.) The assigned magistrate judge entered findings and recommendations, 

recommending that Plaintiff’s request for entry of default be denied. (Doc. 117.) 

The Court provided the parties an opportunity to file objections to the findings and 

recommendations. The Court granted Plaintiff a sixty-day extension of time to file objections to 

findings and recommendations denying Plaintiff’s request for default. (See Doc. 122.) Plaintiff 

filed objections to several pending findings and recommendations, but those objections do not 

address Plaintiff’s request for entry of default. (Doc. 143.)

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, 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. The procedures set forth
