UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONNY STEWARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

IGBINOSA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:18-cv-00551-AWI-BAM (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING 

DISMISSAL OF ACTION

(ECF No. 20)

Plaintiff Donny Steward (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a 

United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On December 2, 2019, the assigned Magistrate Judge issued findings and 

recommendations recommending that the federal claims in this action be dismissed based on 

Plaintiff’s failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, and the Court decline to 

exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s purported state law claims. (ECF No. 20.) 

Those findings and recommendations were served on Plaintiff and contained notice that any 

objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen (14) days after service. (Id. at 13.) Plaintiff 

filed objections on December 16, 2019. (ECF No. 21.)

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a 

de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including Plaintiff’s

objections, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge’s findings and recommendations are 

supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on December 2, 2019, (ECF No. 20), are 

adopted in full;

2. The federal claims in this action are dismissed, with prejudice, due to Plaintiff’s failure to 

state a claim upon which relief may be granted;

3. The exercise of supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s state law claims is declined, and 

the state law claims are dismissed, without prejudice; and

4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 31, 2020
