UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTOINE BEALER,

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

R. BRANNUM, et al.,

 Defendants.

1:12-cv-01516-AWI-GSA-PC

ORDER RE PLAINTIFF’S LETTER TO 

THE CLERK

(Doc. 46.)

Antoine Bealer ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis 

with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the Complaint 

commencing this action on September 14, 2012. (Doc. 1.) This case now proceeds on the 

Fourth Amended Complaint filed on March 28, 2014, against defendants Rios and Brannum for 

use of excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment. (Doc. 21.) This case is presently 

in the discovery phase, pursuant to the court’s scheduling order of March 2, 2015. (Doc. 45.)

On April 7, 2015, Plaintiff submitted a letter to the Clerk in which he alleged an 

incident occurring on March 24, 2015, during which prison officials detained him in 

Administrative Segregation on false charges. Plaintiff informs the court that he believes this 

shows “another, more extreme, act of harassment and retaliation for the lawsuit I have filed.” 

Doc. 46.)

Plaintiff is advised that this lawsuit now proceeds only against defendants Rios and 

Brannum for use of excessive force, arising from events occurring before Plaintiff filed this 

action. On October 29, 2014, the court issued an order dismissing all other claims and 

defendants from this case. (Doc. 33.) Plaintiff may not add new allegations of harassment and 

retaliation to this action without leave of court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
