IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JORDACHE STEPTER,

Plaintiff, CV F 07 1671 LJO WMW PC 

vs. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION

SGT. CHILDS, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in a civil rights action

2007, and transferred to this court on November 19, 2007. Plaintiff, an inmate in the custody of

the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation at CSP Solano, brings this action

against defendants Sergeant Childs and Correctional Officer Gamez, employees of the CDCR at

the Sierra Conservation Center at Jamestown. 

Plaintiff alleges that he was subjected to sexual harassment. Plaintiff specifically alleges

that the conduct at issue occurred on June 3, 2007. Plaintiff also filed a complaint in the

That action also sets forth a claim of sexual harassment. Plaintiff alleges that he was subjected to

sexual harassment on June 3, 2007. The allegations in this action are identical to the earlier

action, CV F 07 1365 AWI GSA PC.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without

prejudice as duplicative.

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within thirty days

after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections

within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v.

Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9 Cir. 1991). th
