IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEONARD NEELY, 2:07-cv-0003-GEB-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

B.C. ADAMS,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s document entitled “Writ of Mandate”

(Doc. 24), filed on August 24, 2007, in which he asserts that the court erred in concluding that he

had failed to exhaust his administrative remedies with respect to former defendant Ramirez. 

On June 11, 2007, the court issued findings and recommendations that Ramirez be

dismissed as a defendant to this action because plaintiff had not exhausted administrative

remedies. Plaintiff filed objections on June 22, 2007. On July 24, 2007, the district judge

adopted the findings and recommendations in full and dismissed Ramirez. In the instant filing,

plaintiff argues that the court should not have determined that the claims against Ramirez were

unexhausted.

Because plaintiff seeks relief from the court’s July 24, 2007, order, the court

construes plaintiff’s “Writ of Mandate” as a motion pursuant under Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 60(b). So construed, the motion is denied. Plaintiff had an opportunity to object to

the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations, and in fact did so. Notwithstanding

plaintiff’s opposition, the findings and recommendations were adopted in full. Plaintiff’s current

filing does not offer anything new which would warrant relief from the July 24, 2007, order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 27, 2007
