Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed

this civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local General Order No.

262.

On March 8, 2006, the magistrate judge filed findings and

findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen

days.

Neither party has filed objections to the findings and

recommendations.

The court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and

recommendations to be supported by the record and by the

magistrate judge’s analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED

that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed March 8, 2006 are

adopted in full; 

2. Leander, Ledbetter, Wilson and Bellitari are dismissed

from this action for plaintiff’s failure to state a claim upon

which relief could be granted, see 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1997e(c)(1);

3. The April 25, 2005, motion to dismiss for plaintiff’s

failure to exhaust available administrative remedies is denied.

4. Cano and Castillo’s motion to dismiss for plaintiff’s

failure to state a claim is granted in part and plaintiff’s

claims they violated his right to a grievance procedure and his

right of access to the courts are dismissed; and

5. Cano and Castillo are directed to file and serve an

answer within 30 days from the date of this order.

DATED: April 20, 2006
