UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Jeremy Prewitt seeks to hold J. Doerer, Warden at United States Penitentiary Atwater, liable for 

violations of his civil rights while incarcerated at the facility.1 The assigned magistrate judge found 

Plaintiff failed to obey the Court’s order and failed to prosecute the action. (Doc. 5 at 1-2.) The 

magistrate judge found terminating sanctions are appropriate, after considering the factors identified by 

the Ninth Circuit in Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 1421, 1424 (9th Cir. 1986). (Id. at 2-3.) Thus, the 

magistrate judge recommended that the Court dismiss the action without prejudice. (Id. at 3.)

The Court served the Findings and Recommendations on Plaintiff and notified him that any 

objections were due within 14 days. (Doc. 5 at 3.) The Court advised Plaintiff that the “failure to file 

objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of the ‘right to challenge the magistrate’s 

1 On October 3, 2024, the Court severed Plaintiff’s claims from Benanti v. Doerer, Case No. 1:24-cv-01108-CDB 

(PC) and directed Plaintiff to: (1) file a signed complaint bearing his own case number; and (2) submit a completed 

application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the $405.00 filing fee to proceed with this action. (See Doc. 2 at 6-9.)

factual findings’ on appeal.” (Id. at 4, quoting Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 

2014).) Plaintiff did not file objections, and the time to do so expired.

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court performed a de novo review of this case. Having 

carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes the Findings and Recommendations are supported 

by the record and proper analysis. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

1. The Findings and Recommendations dated December 4, 2024 (Doc. 5) are ADOPTED 

in full.

2. The action is DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute and 

failure to comply with the Court’s order.

3. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
