UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DOUGLAS M. MARTIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS & REHABILITATION,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:23-cv-00822 JLT SAB (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING 

DISMISSAL OF CERTAIN CLAIMS AND 

DEFENDANTS

(Doc. 14)

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action filed pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On October 19, 2023, the magistrate judge issued Findings and Recommendations 

finding Plaintiff stated a cognizable claim of deliberate indifference to his safety against 

Defendants Maria Flores and Omar Rubio and recommended that all other claims and Defendants 

be dismissed from the action for failure to state a cognizable claim for relief. (Doc. 14.) 

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

any objections were to be filed within 14 days after service and that the failure to file timely 

objections may result in a waiver of rights on appeal. (Doc. 14 at 8, citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 

772 F.3d 834, 839 (9th Cir. 2014).) He did not file objections, and the deadline to do so has 

passed.

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, the Court conducted a de

novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes the 

Findings and Recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis. Accordingly, 

the Court ORDERS:

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued on October 19, 2023 (Doc. 14) are 

ADOPTED in full.

2. This action SHALL proceed on Plaintiff’s first amended complaint (Doc. 12) only

as to Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claim against Defendants Maria Flores and 

Omar Rubio for deliberate indifference to safety.

3. All other claims and Defendants are DISMISSED from this action for failure to 

state claims upon which relief may be granted.

4. This action is referred to the assigned magistrate judge for further proceedings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
