DANIEL WALKER, 10 11 12 13 No. 2:17-cv-1764 KJM DB P Plaintiff, v. ORDER SCOTT KERNAN, et al., Defendants. 14 15 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 16 action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff claims defendants conspired to retaliate against 17 him because he named them as defendants in lawsuits. The matter was referred to a United States 18 Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 19 On July 28, 2021, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which 20 were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the 21 findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty days. (ECF No. 73.) Neither party 22 has filed objections to the findings and recommendations. 23 The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 24 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. 25 See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law by the 26 magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court . . . .”). 27 Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by 28 the record and by the proper analysis. 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case 2:17-cv-01764-KJM-DB Document 74 Filed 09/08/21 Page 2 of 2 1 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 2 1.
