(PC) Uhuru v. Singh

Opinion

KOHEN DIALLO UHURU, No. 2:20-cv-01664-TLN-KJN Plaintiff, v. ORDER R. SINGH, et al., Defendants. Plaintiff Kohen Diallo Uhuru (“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 October 9, 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. 11.) On January 6, 2021, Plaintiff filed Objections to the Findings and Recommendations (ECF No. 21), which have been considered by the Court. This Court reviews de novo those portions of the proposed findings of fact to which objection has been made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Business Machines, 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 920 (1982); see also Dawson v. Marshall, 561 F.3d 930, 932 (9th Cir. 2009). As to any portion of the proposed findings of fact to which no objection has been made, the Court assumes its correctness and decides the motions on the applicable law. See Orand v. United States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified Sch. Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). Having reviewed the file under the applicable legal standards, the Court finds the Findings and Recommendations to be supported by the record and by the magistrate judge’s analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The Findings and Recommendations filed October 9, 2020 (ECF No. 11), are adopted in full; and 2. All claims in Plaintiff’s Complaint, but for the claim alleging inadequate dental care against Defendant Scamurra, are DISMISSED on grounds that they are improperly joined. DATED: January 19, 2021
