et al., ORDER

Defendants. 

__________________________________/

Plaintiffs, who are proceeding without counsel and in forma pauperis, filed their

amended complaint on September 3, 2009. (Dkt. No. 12.) The undersigned screened the

complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) and determined that service of the complaint on

defendants would be appropriate once the United States District Judge assigned to this matter

acted on certain proposed findings and recommendations. (See Dkt. No. 14.) In an order entered

June 29, 2010, United States District Judge John A. Mendez adopted the undersigned’s proposed

findings and recommendations and dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs’ claims for relief under 

18 U.S.C. §§ 245(b) and 245(e). (See Dkt. No. 19.) Judge Mendez also adopted the

undersigned’s additional proposed findings and recommendations and dismissed from this action

with prejudice plaintiffs Bridgette Walker and Karl Wichelman. (Id.) Following Judge
