UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARRYL P. CRAWFORD,

Plaintiff,

v.

STEPHEN, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-2587 CKD P

ORDER

On February 29, 2016, plaintiff’s complaint in this prisoner civil rights action was 

dismissed for failure to state a claim. (ECF No. 7.) Before the court for screening is plaintiff’s 

First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). (ECF No. 10.) See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a).

Plaintiff alleges that defendant correctional officers prevented him from receiving his 

daily diabetes shot on November 26, 2014. These allegations do not rise to the level of an Eighth 

Amendment claim under the standard set forth in the February 29, 2016 screening order. A onetime denial of daily medication, without more, is negligence rather than constitutional injury. 

Thus plaintiff fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 

Plaintiff has consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge to conduct all proceedings 

in this action. (ECF No. 5.) As it appears another round of amendment would be futile, the court 

will dismiss this action.
