DIONTAE JOHAN DUNCAN, Plaintiff, v. CALIFORNIA HEALTHCARE RECEIVERSHIP CORP., et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S SECOND AND THIRD MOTIONS FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDERS
(Doc. Nos. 21, 22, 26)
Plaintiff Diontae Johan Duncan is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action. This matter was referred to a United States magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Eastern District of California Local Rule 302.
On June 8, 2021, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations, recommending that Plaintiff's second and third motions for temporary restraining orders (Doc. Nos. 21 & 22) be denied. Doc. No. 26. The magistrate judge found that the Court lacks “personal jurisdiction over the entity and individuals against whom Plaintiff seeks” restraining orders, and that “the claims in Plaintiff's motions for [restraining orders] are unrelated to the claims at issue in this case.” Id. at 2-3. The findings and recommendations were served on Plaintiff and provided him twenty-one days to file objections thereto. Id. at 3. Plaintiff filed objections on June 28, 2021. Doc. No. 29.
In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including Plaintiff's objections, the Court concludes that the findings and recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis. Plaintiff's objections do not meaningfully address, much less disturb, the magistrate judge's findings that the Court lacks personal jurisdiction over individuals and entities against whom he seeks restraining orders, and that the Court lacks authority to grant the injunctive relief Plaintiff requests as his motions for restraining orders are based on claims not raised in his complaint. See Pac. Radiation Oncology, LLC v. Queen's Med. Ctr., 810 F.3d 631, 633 (9th Cir. 2015).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The findings and recommendations issued on June 8, 2021 (Doc. No. 26) are ADOPTED in full; and
2. Plaintiff s motions for temporary restraining orders (Doc. Nos. 21 & 22) are DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
