UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONNY STEWARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. ARYA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:18-cv-00462-TLN-EFB

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 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 March 20, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein 

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. 25.) Plaintiff has 

filed objections to the findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 27.) 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, 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. 

Additionally, the Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s prematurely filed motion for certificate of 

appealability (ECF No. 29) — construed as a motion to certify an interlocutory appeal — and

hereby DENIES it. The motion is difficult to read and to the extent the Court can interpret it, the 

Court finds no persuasive legal argument warranting such certification.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed March 20, 2020 (ECF No. 25), are 

ADOPTED IN FULL; 

2. Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claims against Arya for: (1) failure to fill his inhaler

prescription; and (2) prescription of anti-fungal cream are DISMISSED without prejudice as

inadequately plead; 

3. Plaintiff’s claims against all defendants other than Arya are DISMISSED without

prejudice as improperly joined; and

4. Plaintiff’s motion for certificate of appealability (ECF No. 29), construed as a motion 

to certify for interlocutory appeal, is DENIED.

5. This action will proceed on Plaintiff’s claims against Arya based on the reduction of 

sanitary supplies and reduction of medication for Plaintiff’s heart condition, as described in the 

magistrate judge’s March 20, 2020 order (ECF No. 25).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
