8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA ADAM RANDOLPH POWELL, No. 2:21-cv-0782 DJC AC P 12 Plaintiff, 13 v. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS J. LYNCH, et al., 15 Defendants.
17 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 18 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 28, 2024, the court screened the second amended complaint and found that plaintiff’s claims against defendants Gomes and Camacho stated a claim while his claims against defendants Peterson, Leckie, Hayne, Pierce (male), and Pierce (female) were insufficient to proceed. ECF No. 20. Plaintiff was given the option of amending the complaint or proceeding immediately on his cognizable claims against defendants Gomes and Camacho. Id. at 4. He was further advised that if he failed to notify the court how he wanted to proceed, the court would assume that he was choosing to proceed on the complaint as screened and recommend dismissal without prejudice of defendants Peterson, Leckie, Hayne, Pierce (male), and Pierce (female). Id. at 5. The time for plaintiff to notify the court as to how he wishes to proceed has now passed, and plaintiff has not made an election or otherwise responded to the order.
