UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEWAYNE THOMPSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

T. ADAMS, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:13-cv-00655-AWI-SKO (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS DENYING 

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR 

PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FOR 

LACK OR JURISDICTION

(Docs. 51, 54)

Plaintiff, DeWayne Thompson, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on May 6, 2013. The case was referred 

to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. On 

April 26, 2016, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations to deny Plaintiff’s 

motion for preliminary injunctive relief for lack or jurisdiction, which was served that same date 

and allowed objections to be filed within thirty days. (Doc. 54.) Despite lapse of more than the 

allowed time, neither side has filed any objections.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), the 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.

Despite the absence of jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief, this Court

(Doc. 51), is DENIED for lack of jurisdiction. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
