UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RICHARD GIDDENS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SOLANO COUNTY, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:19-cv-0019-KJM-EFB PS 

ORDER 

On February 19, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, which 

were served on the parties and which contained notice that any objections to the findings and 

recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. No objections were filed. 

The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 

602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed 

de novo. See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law 

by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court 

. . . .”). Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be 

supported by the record and by the proper analysis. 

 The court has reviewed the applicable legal standards and, good cause appearing, 

concludes that it is appropriate to adopt the Findings and Recommendations in full.
