17 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 as provided by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

Plaintiff's claims against defendant Lynch are dismissed without prejudice; and 6 3. This matter is referred back to the assigned magistrate judge for all further pretrial 7 proceedings.
