UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH L. ENNIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

MARTINEZ,

Defendant.

No. 1:23-cv-1330 JLT BAM (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS, DISMISSING THE

ACTION FOR FAILURE TO STATE A 

CLAIM, AND DIRECTING THE CLERK OF 

COURT TO CLOSE THIS CASE

(Doc. 14)

Joseph L. Ennis seeks to hold Rose Martinez, a nurse at the Substance Abuse Treatment 

Facility- Corcoran, liable for violating his civil rights arising under the Eighth Amendment. 

(Doc. 12.) The magistrate judge screened the First Amended Complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

1915A(a) and found Plaintiff failed to state a cognizable claim. (Doc. 14 at 3-5.) The magistrate 

judge noted the Court informed Plaintiff of the applicable legal standards when screening the 

initial complaint. (Id. at 5.) Because Plaintiff again failed to state a claim, the magistrate judge 

determined further leave to amend was futile and recommended the action be dismissed. (Id.)

The Findings and Recommendations were served on Plaintiff, and contained a notice that 

any objections were due within 14 days. (Doc. 14 at 5.) The Court advised Plaintiff that failure 

to file timely objections may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. (Id., citing Wilkerson v. 

Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 839 (9th Cir. 2014).) Plaintiff did not file objections and the time to do 

so expired.

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

Having carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes the Findings and Recommendations

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued on December 5, 2023 (Doc. 14) are 

ADOPTED in full.

2. This action is DISMISSED with prejudice for failure to state a cognizable claim 

upon which relief may be granted.

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
