          ORDER

          LAWRENCE K. KARLTON, District Judge.

         Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, 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 March 29, 2013, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Plaintiff has filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

Plaintiff's objections to the findings and recommendations do not contest the magistrate judge's reasoning or his recommendations. Instead, Plaintiff seeks reimbursement for "his expenses in his multiple attempts to locate and serve Defendant Uppal, as well as for the expense of providing notice by publication." Pl's Objs., ECF No. 108, at 1.

         In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.

         Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

         1. The findings and recommendations filed March 29, 2013, are adopted in full; and

         2. Plaintiff's request to enter default against defendant Uppal (Doc. No. 90) is denied.

The court will not address Plaintiff's request for costs in this order. Plaintiff is directed to file a separate motion for costs before the magistrate judge, in accordance with Eastern
