UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRANDON EUGENE HUNTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRENNEMAN, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:22-cv-1141 CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil action. On July 26, 2022, the 

court screened plaintiff’s complaint as the court is required to do under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). 

The court found that plaintiff could proceed on a claim arising under the Fourteenth Amendment

for excessive force against defendant Brenneman, but all other claims are not actionable. The 

court gave plaintiff two options: 1) proceed on his Fourteenth Amendment claim against 

defendant Brenneman immediately; or 2) attempt to cure the deficiencies with respect to his other 

claims in an amended complaint. On August 5, 2022, plaintiff informed the court that he wishes 

to file an amended complaint.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s complaint is dismissed. 

2. Plaintiff is granted thirty days to file an amended complaint that complies with the 

requirements of the Civil Rights Act, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Local Rules of

Practice; the amended complaint must bear the docket number assigned this case and must be

labeled “Amended Complaint;” failure to file an amended complaint in accordance with this order 

will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
