RODNEY L. SHORT,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN SANZBERRO, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:09-cv-00996-OWW-GSA PC

ORDER DISMISSING CERTAIN CLAIMS

AND DEFENDANTS, AND REFERRING

MATTER BACK TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE

TO INITIATE SERVICE OF PROCESS

(Docs. 14, 16, and 17)

Plaintiff RodneyL. Short, a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on June 9, 2009. On December 18, 2009, the

Magistrate Judge screened Plaintiff’s amended complaint, and found that it states a cognizable

excessive force claim against Defendants Sanzberro, Grijalva, and Roggencamp arising from the

April 29, 2009, incident, and a cognizable due process claim against Defendants Sanzberro, Grijalva,

Kowall, Roggencamp, and Gill for forcibly medicating Plaintiff, but does not state any other claims

for relief under section 1983. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). Plaintiff was ordered to either file a

second amended complaint or notify the Court of his willingness to proceed only on the claims found

to be cognizable. On February 1, 2010, Plaintiff filed a notice stating that he is willing to proceed

only on the claims found to be cognizable. 

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

1. This action shall proceed on Plaintiff’s amended complaint against Defendants

Sanzberro, Grijalva, and Roggencamp for use of excessive force arising from the

April 29, 2009, incident, and against Defendants Sanzberro, Grijalva, Kowall,
