UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY C. BONTEMPS,

Plaintiff,

v.

NARINDER SAUKHLA,

Defendant.

No. 2:19-cv-02605-TLN-CKD

ORDER

Gregory C. Bontemps (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 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 9, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations which were 

served on Plaintiff and which contained notice to Plaintiff that any objections to the findings and 

recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. (ECF No. 4.) Plaintiff has not filed 

objections to the findings and recommendations.

Accordingly, the Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. 

United States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are 

reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 

1983); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

Having reviewed the file under the applicable legal standards, the Court 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 January 9, 2020 (ECF No. 4), are adopted in 

full; and

2. Plaintiff shall pay the entire $400.00 in required fees within thirty days of the date of 

this order or face dismissal of this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED

Dated: February 11, 2020
