UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NATHANIEL MARCUS GANN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CDCR, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:19-cv-01350-JLT (PC)

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

TO DISMISS DEFENDANTS

14-DAY DEADLINE

Clerk of the Court to assign a District Judge

On August 12, 2020, the Court screened Plaintiff’s first amended complaint and found 

that it states cognizable claims against Defendants Arietta, Hashemi, Igbinosa, Kokor, Pacheco, 

and Ugwueze, but not against Defendants CDCR, CSATF, and Stronach. (Doc. 16.) The Court 

therefore directed Plaintiff to file a second amended complaint curing the deficiencies in his 

pleading or to notify the Court that he wishes to proceed only on the claims found cognizable. (Id.

at 12-13.)

On August 21, 2020, Plaintiff filed a notice that he “elects to proceed on the claims found 

cognizable.” (Doc. 17.) Accordingly, and for the reasons set forth in the Court’s screening order 

(Doc. 16), the Court RECOMMENDS that Defendants CDCR, CSATF, and Stronach, and the 

claims against these defendants, be DISMISSED. The Court DIRECTS the Clerk of the Court to 

assign a district judge to this action.

These Findings and Recommendations will be submitted to the United States District 

Judge assigned to this case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 14 days of 

the date of service of these Findings and Recommendations, Plaintiff may file written objections 

with the Court. The document should be captioned, “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings 

and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections within the specified time may result in waiver 

of rights on appeal. Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 839 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Baxter v. 

Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991)).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
