UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Melvin Ricks proceeds pro se and in forma pauperis in this action against 

defendant Kings View Mental Health Services d/b/a Blue Sky Wellness Center (“Defendant”) for 

employment discrimination. 

Plaintiff filed the complaint on November 10, 2014. After screening the complaint in 

compliance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), the Magistrate Judge found that Plaintiff’s stated a claim 

for employment discrimination against Defendant in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act

of 1964 (42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2) and Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (42 U.S.C. § 

1981) but did not state a cause of action for employment discrimination under the Americans with 

Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. §§ 12111 et seq) against Defendant, nor for intentional 

infliction of emotional distress against individual defendants Susan Golden and Jeff Gorski. The 

Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to either file an amended complaint or to notify the court 

of his willingness to proceed only on the claims found to be cognizable. On February 15, 2015, 

Plaintiff filed a notice of willingness to proceed only on the claims found to be cognizable.
