IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ABEL CANO,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-2203 JAM GGH P

vs.

B. NAKU, et al.,

Defendants. 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 January 21, 2010, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations

herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any

objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days. Both

plaintiff and defendant Naku have filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 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 does not find the findings and recommendations concerning Defendant Naku’s

motion for summary judgment to be supported by the record and by proper analysis. The Court

sustains Defendant Naku’s objections to the Magistrate Judge’s findings and recommendations

regarding his motion for summary judgment and finds that Plaintiff has failed to create a triable

issue of fact on his claim against Defendant Naku for deliberate indifference to serious medical

needs. Plaintiff has failed to provide any expert evidence that the treatment he received equated

with deliberate indifference thereby creating a material issue of fact. Accordingly, summary

judgment should be entered for Defendant Naku. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. That portion of the findings and recommendations filed January 21, 2010

concerning plaintiff’s unopposed amended motion to compel is adopted; and

2. Defendant Naku’s motion for summary judgment, filed on June 26, 2009

(docket # 32), is granted. 

DATED: March 22, 2010
