UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GEORGE LEE,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. GROUNDS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-0464 KJN P 

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

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

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The undersigned has separately issued an order screening plaintiff’s second 

amended complaint filed April 11, 2014. The undersigned found that plaintiff’s claim that he was 

wrongfully charged restitution stated a potentially cognizable claim for relief. The undersigned 

found that plaintiff’s retaliation claim should be dismissed because no defendants are linked to 

this claim. The undersigned also found that plaintiff’s retaliation claim violated Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 18. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall assign a district 

judge to this action; and 

IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that plaintiff’s retaliation claim contained in his 

second amended complaint be dismissed for the reasons stated in the screening order.
