UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES B. JONES,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. GARCIA, et al.,

Defendants.

1:17-cv-01311-LJO-SKO (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISMISSING 

ACTION WITHOUT PREJUDICE

(Docs. 34, 47)

Plaintiff Charles B. Jones is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action. This matter was referred to a United States magistrate judge pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On August 28, 2019, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on the grounds 

that Plaintiff failed to exhaust administrative remedies prior to filing suit. (Doc. 34.) On 

December 23, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations to grant 

the defendants’ motion and to dismiss this action without prejudice. (Doc. 47.) The magistrate 

judge provided Plaintiff 21 days to file objections to the findings and recommendations. (Id.) 

Although more than the allowed time has passed, Plaintiff has not 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 proper analysis.
