UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Anthony D. Wafer is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 27, 2012, the Magistrate Judge screened 

Plaintiff’s second amended complaint and issued findings and recommendations. The Magistrate 

Judge found that Plaintiff stated a cognizable claim against Defendants Suesberry, Reynolds, and 

Hasadsir for failure to prescribe medication to treat Plaintiff’s claims of pain, swelling, and infection, 

but failed to state any other cognizable claims for relief. The Magistrate Judge recommended that 

certain defendants and claims be dismissed with prejudice, and that Plaintiff be granted leave to amend 

his complaint to state a cognizable claim based upon the failure to provide radiation therapy prior to 

his surgical appointment on March 27, 2006. (ECF No. 33.) 

On January 14, 2013, the Court issued an Order Adopting Findings and Recommendations and 

Dismissing Certain Claims and Defendants with Prejudice for Failure to State a Claim. (ECF No. 45.) 

The Court also ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint or notify the Court that he does not wish
