STRIKE PER 425 U.S.C. § 1915(g)

Plaintiff, Vince Williams, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on July 22, 2014. 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 

January 12, 2016, the Magistrate Judge issued a findings and recommendation that this action be 

dismissed with prejudice because of Plaintiff’s failure both to obey a court order and to prosecute 

this action and that Plaintiff be given a strike under 42 U.S.C. § 1915(g) since he failed to state a 

cognizable claim. (Doc. 29.) The findings and recommendations issued that same date and gave 

plaintiff thirty days to file objections. (Id.) Plaintiff did not file any objections. 

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