CASE NO. 1:11-cv–01297-LJO-BAM PC

ORDER DISMISSING CERTAIN CLAIMS

AND DEFENDANTS, AND REFERRING

MATTER BACK TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE

TO INITIATE SERVICE OF PROCESS

(ECF Nos. 1, 11, 12)

PlaintiffMichael Vincent Cisneros is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 28, 2012, the Magistrate Judge

screened Plaintiff’s complaint, and found that it states a claim against Defendant Neubarth for

deliberate indifference in violation of the Eighth Amendment, but does not state any other claims

for relief under section 1983. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Plaintiff was ordered to either file an amended

complaint or notify the Court of his willingness to proceed only on the claim found to be cognizable. 

On September 14, 2012, Plaintiff filed a notice stating that he wants to proceed only on his

cognizable deliberate indifference claim. 

Accordingly, based on Plaintiff’s notice, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This action shall proceed for money damages on the complaint, filed August 5, 2011,

against Defendant Neubarth for deliberate indifference in violation of the Eighth

Amendment;

2. Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claims against Defendants Dham, Bondoc, and

McCabe are dismissed for failure to state a claim;
