EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CANDACE SMITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

MCDONALDS INCORPORATED, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-CV-00204-KES-SAB

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

(Doc. 12)

Plaintiff Candace Smith, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this action on 

February 15, 2024, which was referred to a United States magistrate judge pursuant to 28 

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

On June 6, 2024, the magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations,

recommending that plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed without leave to amend. Doc. 12. The 

findings and recommendations were served on plaintiff and contained notice that any objections 

to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within 21 (twenty-one) days from the date 

of service. Id. On September 17, 2024, plaintiff filed an untimely objection. Doc. 13. The 

untimely objection does not establish any error in the findings and recommendations and does

and fails to establish diversity jurisdiction. See id.

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