Plaintiff alleges his constitutional rights were violated while he was housed at Calipatria

State Prison. 

On June 28, 2016, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s Complaint pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915A(b), and gave him forty-five days to file a First Amended Complaint. 

Plaintiff filed his First Amended Complaint on August 8, 2016, and on August 12,

2016, the Court issued an order directing the U.S. Marshal to serve the First Amended

Complaint upon Defendants. 

Subsequent to that order but before service had been effected, Plaintiff filed the

present motion requesting leave to correct his First Amended Complaint. This Court,

Magistrate Judge William V. Gallo presiding, construed that motion as a motion for

leave to amend the First Amended Complaint. On September 29, 2016, Judge Gallo
