On January 14, 2008, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein

which were served on the parties and which contained notice that any objections to the findings

and recommendations were to be filed within 20 days. Timely objections to the findings and

recommendations have been filed by plaintiffs. Defendants have filed a response to plaintiffs’

objections.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 72-304,

this 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.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed January 14, 2008, are adopted in full;

2. County Defendants’ motion to dismiss in case no. CIV-S-07-0847-MCE-CMK

(Doc. 11) is granted;

3. Case no. CIV-S-07-0847-MCE-CMK is dismissed in its entirety; 

4. Defendant United States of America’s motion to dismiss in case no. CIV-S-07-

0847-MCE-CMK (Docs. 26 and 27) is denied as moot;

5. County Defendants’ (except Bigler) motion to dismiss in case no. CIV-S-06-2064-

MCE-CMK (Docs. 12) is granted in part and denied in part, as outlined in the January 14, 2008,

findings and recommendations; 

6. Defendant United States of America’s motion in case no. CIV-S-06-2064-MCECMK (Docs. 28 and 29) is granted; 

7. Defendants Weston and United States of America are dismissed, and the Clerk of

the Court be directed to terminate them on the court’s docket for case no. CIV-S-06-2064-MCECMK;

The January 14, 2008, findings and recommendations erroneously state in the 1

conclusion section that plaintiff Olson’s due process claim based on seizure of her person, which

defendants’ do not challenge, arises under the Fourth Amendment. This clerical error does not

affect the substance of the findings and recommendations, which the court concludes is correct

and based on proper legal analysis.

8. Case no. CIV-S-06-2064-MCE-CMK shall proceed as against defendants Oreck,

Schack, Riggins, and Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Department on plaintiff Olson’s Fourth and

Fourteenth Amendment claims for money damages based on seizures of both her person and 1

property; 

9. Defendants Oreck, Schack, Riggins, and Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Department

shall file an answer to plaintiff Olson’s complaint in case no. CIV-S-06-2064-MCE-CMK within

30 days of the date of this order; and

10. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment dismissing case no. CIV-S07-0847-MCE-CMK and close that file only.

Dated: February 15, 2008
