HOWARD, et al., 15 Defendants. 16 17 Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action under 18 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge as provided by 19 Eastern District of California local rules. 20 On April 25, 2022, the Magistrate Judge issued findings and recommendations, 21 which were served on the parties and contained notice that the parties may file objections within 22 the time specified therein.

Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be 28 supported by the record and by the proper analysis. ] Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 2 1. The findings and recommendations filed on April 25, 2022, are adopted in 3 | full; 4 2. Plaintiff's motion, ECF No. 48, to proceed on the first amended complaint 5 || is granted; 6 3.
