Based on the foregoing, the action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as to Defendants 

Judge Davila, County, and Stone, and WITHOUT PREJUDICE as to Defendant Tonini. A 

separate judgment will issue in favor of Judge Davila, the County, and Stone, as the dismissal of 

those Defendants is on the merits. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
