Defendants. ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

additional defendant “West Sacramento City Insurance Carrier GAB Robins.” Any claim

Plaintiff is directed to show cause within thirty days why defendant City of West

suing the carrier. Failure to do so will result in a recommendation of dismissal of the insurance
