UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EARNEST S. HARRIS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SEXTON, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 1:18-cv-0080 KJM DB P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff alleges defendants’ use of the Guard One welfare check system 

(“Guard One”) violated his rights under the Eighth Amendment. The matter was referred to a 

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

 On March 31, 2022, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, which were 

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

recommendations were to be filed within thirty days. Plaintiff has filed objections to the findings 

and recommendations. The findings and recommendations are pending before this court. 

 In the meantime, on August 2, 2022, this court approved a settlement agreement reached 

in a claim-in-intervention filed in Coleman v. Newsom, Case No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM DB by 

plaintiff-intervenor Christopher Lipsey concerning use of Guard One. Coleman v. Newsom, Case 

No. 90-0520 KJM DB, ECF No. 7597. A copy of the settlement agreement and the stipulation
