22 (Doc. 11.) The Court therefore directed Plaintiff to file a second amended complaint curing the deficiencies in his pleading or to notify the Court that he wishes to proceed only on the claims found cognizable. (Id. at 12.)

25 On November 22, 2022, Plaintiff filed a notice that he elects “to proceed on the claims [the Court] found cognizable in the first screening order.” (Doc. 12.)
