Defendants. FROM THIS ACTION

_____________________________/

Robert Maeshack (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

action pursuant to 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 Rule 72-302. 

 On January 21, 2010, findings and recommendations were entered, recommending

that Defendant Weed's motion to dismiss of April 28, 2009 be granted, and defendant Weed be

dismissed from this action for plaintiff’s failure to state a claim against him, based on the doctrine of

res judicata. (Doc. 58.) On February 18, 2010, plaintiff filed objections to the findings and

recommendations. (Doc. 61.)

file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper

analysis. While the court is not without sympathy to Plaintiff’s medical problems, the court cannot

revisit allegations that have already been fully adjudicated in another action.

Accordingly, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued by the Magistrate Judge on

January 21, 2010, are adopted in full;

2. Defendant Weed's motion to dismiss, filed April 28, 2009, is GRANTED;

3. Defendant Weed is dismissed from this action for plaintiff's failure to state

any claim against him, based on the doctrine of res judicata; and

4. The Clerk is directed to reflect the dismissal of defendant Weed from this

action on the court's docket.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 9, 2010 /s/ Anthony W. Ishii
