PAUL WINFIELD,

Plaintiff, No. 2:09-cv-00636 KJN P

vs.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel with a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 1, 2009, plaintiff consented to proceed before the

undersigned for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). On July 7, 2010, plaintiff filed a

document in which he seeks to add “Guard Hymen” as a defendant, claiming she committed

slander against plaintiff. However, the sole allegation contained in plaintiff’s filing is that while

plaintiff was allegedly held down and administered psychotropic drugs, Guard Hymen allegedly

held a gun on plaintiff from the gun tower. This allegation does not support a claim for slander,
