Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 

1983 against three employees of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation: P. 

Hudson, S. Nguyen, and J. Smolinger. On March 30, 2023, the court screened plaintiff’s second 

amended complaint as the court is required to do under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). Plaintiff was

Amendment for subjecting plaintiff to harmful conditions of confinement on the day plaintiff 

attempted suicide (November 7, 2019) be dismissed.

 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days 

after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections 

with the court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings 

and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified 

time waives the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th 

Cir. 1991).
