IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DON ANGELO DAVIS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-0509 RRB EFB P

vs.

SGT. N. JUSTIN, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner without counsel and in forma pauperis with a civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed April 10, 2007, the court screened plaintiff’s

complaint, found that it did not state a cognizable claim against defendant Clayton, and informed

plaintiff that he could either proceed with his action solely against defendant Justin or file an

amended complaint in an attempt to state a claim also against defendant Clayton. On April 23,

2007, and May 23, 2007, plaintiff submitted the documents necessary for service against

defendant Justin. The court construes plaintiff’s election to proceed solely against defendant

Justin as consent to dismissal of all claims against defendant Clayton. 

Accordingly, it is hereby recommended that defendant Clayton be dismissed from this

action without prejudice.
