UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DWAYNE GILES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

FELKER, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:11-cv-1825-WBS-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 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 302. 

 On February 26, 2016, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein 

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

the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Neither party timely 

filed objections to the findings and recommendations. Plaintiff’s March 10, 2016 request for a 

lengthy extension of time to file objections, ECF No. 133, was denied, ECF No. 134, for failure to 

show good cause for the extension. 

 On March 25, 2016, this Court adopted the findings and recommendations, granted 

defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissed plaintiff’s complaint without prejudice 

for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

On March 28, 2016, plaintiff filed objections to the findings and recommendations and a 

motion for reconsideration of the order denying his request for an extension of time. 

 In an abundance of caution, the Court will vacate the March 25, 2016 order adopting the 

findings and recommendations and reconsider them in light of plaintiff’s objections. See Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 59(e) and 60(b). 

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

court has conducted a de novo review of this case, including plaintiff’s objections to the findings 

and recommendations of the magistrate judge. 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 that the order entered on March 25, 2016 

(ECF No. 135) adopting in full the findings and recommendations, granting defendants’ motion 

for summary judgment and dismissing plaintiff’s complaint without prejudice for failure to 

exhaust administrative remedies is CONFIRMED. The July 20, 2015 motion for summary 

judgment filed by defendants Felker and Wong (ECF No. 101) and joined by defendants Roche 

and Nachiondo is granted; plaintiff’s complaint is dismissed without prejudice for failure to 

exhaust administrative remedies; defendants’ motions for summary judgment on the merits (ECF 

Nos. 100, 103) are denied without prejudice as moot; and the Clerk is directed to terminate ECF 

No. 137 and to close the case. 

Dated: April 1, 2016
