se, filed a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff alleges the California Department of

Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”), Calipatria State Prison, Correctional Officers C. Butler,

S. Garcia, R. Houston, and P. Preciado (collectively “Defendants”) violated his Eighth Amendment

rights by failing to protect him from an attack by another inmate. Defendants moved to dismiss

pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) on the grounds that: (1) Plaintiff failed to exhaust; (2) Plaintiff’s

claims are time-barred; (3) Plaintiff failed to state an Eighth Amendment claim against any defendant;

(4) Defendants are entitled to qualified immunity; and (5) Defendants CDCR and Calipatria are

immune from liability under the Eleventh Amendment. 

On September 22, 2006, The Honorable Anthony J. Battaglia, United States Magistrate Judge,

issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending that the Court grant Defendants’ Motion to
