ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel. Plaintiff consented to proceed 

before the undersigned for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). By order filed March 23, 2016, 

the court determined that service of the complaint is appropriate for defendant J. Lewis, and 

plaintiff was directed to notify the court, within thirty days, whether he elected to amend his 

complaint to state a cognizable claim against the remaining defendants, or to serve defendant J. 

Lewis and consent to the dismissal of the remaining defendants and claims. On April 25, 2016,

his complaint. Therefore, the court construes his filing as consent to dismissal of the remaining

Eighth Amendment claim against defendant Lewis based on plaintiff’s challenge to the policy
