UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Jason Geray is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this 

civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a United 

States magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Eastern District of California 

Local Rule 302.

Along with his filed complaint, on April 8, 2021, Plaintiff moved for a preliminary 

injunction preventing Defendants from confiscating and destroying a magazine he ordered before 

he could exhaust the grievance process. Doc. No. 1. On April 30, 2021, the assigned magistrate 

judge filed findings and recommendations, recommending that Plaintiff’s motion be denied 

because Plaintiff had failed to demonstrate a preliminary injunction was warranted. Doc. No. 7. 

The magistrate judge provided Plaintiff thirty days to file objections to the findings and 

recommendations. Id. at 5. Plaintiff filed his objection on May 12, 2021. Doc. No. 11.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a 

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including Plaintiff’s 

objections, the Court concludes that the findings and recommendations are supported by the 

record and proper analysis.
