ORDER DISMISSING CERTAIN 

CLAIMS AND DEFENDANTS

Plaintiff Henry M. Mitchell (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. He paid the filing fee and is therefore not proceeding 

in forma pauperis. Plaintiff filed his complaint on March 12, 2012.1 

On February 27, 2013, the Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint and found that Plaintiff 

stated a cognizable claim for violation of the First Amendment against Defendants Bolen and 

Seifert. The Court ordered him to either notify the Court that he is willing to proceed on the 

cognizable claim, or file an amended complaint. 

On March 29, 2013, Plaintiff filed a notice in which he indicated that he agreed to 

proceed on the cognizable claim against Defendants Bolen and Seifert. Plaintiff further agreed 

that all other claims and Defendants should be dismissed.
