UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT CURTIS WILLIAMS, III,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALI,

Defendant.

No. 2:21-cv-01877-CKD-P

ORDER

 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a United States Magistrate 

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On January 10, 2022, the court screened plaintiff’s complaint and gave him the option of 

proceeding immediately on the Eighth Amendment deliberate indifference claim against 

defendant Ali, or of filing an amended complaint to attempt to cure the defects with respect to the 

additional Fourteenth Amendment claim against this defendant. ECF No. 8. Plaintiff was 

directed to file a Notice of Election within 21 days to notify the court how he wanted to proceed. 

ECF No. 8 at 6. Instead of completing the Notice of Election form, plaintiff filed a motion to 

reconsider the court’s screening order. ECF No. 11. The court construes the motion to reconsider 

as plaintiff’s notice of election to stand on the allegations in his original complaint. ECF No. 11.
