IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREW LOPEZ,

Plaintiff, 2:03-cv-1605-GEB-DAD-P

vs.

S. COOK, et al.,

Defendants. AMENDED ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has 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 General Order No. 262.

On November 14, 2006, Magistrate Judge Dale Drozd issued findings and

recommendations recommending that plaintiff’s claims involving defendants Farris, Singletary

and Hansen be dismissed without prejudice due to plaintiff’s failure to complete and return

USM-285 forms to effect service on those defendants. On December 22, 2006, the undersigned

adopted those finding and recommendations. On January 3, 2007, plaintiff filed objections

contending that he had not received the November 14, 2006 findings and recommendations. 

Thereafter, on January 25, 2007, Magistrate Drozd ordered the Clerk of the Court to provide

plaintiff with the November 14, 2006 findings and recommendations and directed plaintiff to file

any objections thereto within twenty days of the service of that order. Plaintiff filed objections

to the November 14, 2006 findings and recommendations on February 12, 2007.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 72-

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 by

proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed November 14, 2006, are adopted in

full; and

2. Plaintiff’s claims against defendants Farris, Singletary and Hansen are

dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 

Dated: March 13, 2007
