UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RANDY LAMAR BLACK,

Plaintiff,

v.

P. THOMPSON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:21-cv-02167-TLN-EFB (PC)

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Plaintiff is a federal prisoner proceeding with this civil action. On November 7, 2022, the 

court informed plaintiff that he could proceed with potentially cognizable Eighth Amendment 

claims against defendants Allred and Birch or he could file a second amended complaint in an 

effort to also state a claim against defendants Thompson, Alatory, Brown and Nimmo. ECF No. 

38. Plaintiff has elected not to amend his complaint and to proceed only with the claim identified 

by the court. ECF No. 41. 

Accordingly, it is RECOMMENDED that plaintiff’s claims against Thompson, Alatory, 

Brown and Nimmo be dismissed without prejudice. 

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days 

after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written 

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned
