Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305, this Court has conducted a

de novo review of this case.

The court concurs with the recommendation that dismissal of

this Bivens action is required pursuant to Heck v. Humphrey. See

Martin v. Sias, 88 F.3d 774, 775 (9 Cir. 1996)(Heck v. Humphrey th

applies to actions pursuant to Bivens). However, the court

amends the recommendation to delete all references therein to 42

U.S.C. § 1983 because Section 1983 applies only to acts under

color of state law. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed January 14,

2006, are ADOPTED as amended herein;

2. This action is DISMISSED with prejudice; and 

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment

for defendants.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 15, 2006 /s/ Robert E. Coyle
