UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CIRON B. SPRINGFIELD,

Plaintiff,

v.

P. HUDSON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:22-cv-00328-DAD-CKD (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISMISSING 

DEFENDANT SANH NGUYEN DUE TO 

PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO EFFECT 

SERVICE OF PROCESS

(Doc. No. 51)

Plaintiff Ciron B. Springfield is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a 

United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On December 19, 2023, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and 

recommendations recommending that defendant Sanh Nguyen be dismissed from this action due 

to plaintiff’s failure to effect timely service of process under Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure. (Doc. No. 51.) The pending findings and recommendations were served on 

plaintiff and contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen (14) 

days after service. (Id. at 1.) No objections have been filed, and the time in which to do so has 

now passed.
