UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SALVADOR LOPEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

PATRICK COVELLO, Warden, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:21-cv-2380-EFB P

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in an action brought 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 24, 2022, the court informed plaintiff that he could proceed 

with a potentially cognizable Eighth Amendment claim against defendant Praveen or he could file 

an amended complaint in an effort to also state claims against defendants Covello, Ball, and 

Robert. ECF No. 7. Plaintiff has elected not to amend his complaint and to proceed only with the 

claim identified by the court. ECF No. 11. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court randomly assign a United 

States District Judge to this action.

Further, IT IS RECOMMENDED that plaintiff’s claims against defendants Covello, Ball, 

and Robert be dismissed without prejudice. 

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
