UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEENAN WILKIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

PAUL GONZALES, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2: 16-cv-0347 KJM KJN P

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The undersigned has separately issued an order screening the second 

amended complaint (ECF No. 17.) The undersigned found that plaintiff stated potentially 

colorable retaliation claims against defendant Swarthout, Chaiken, Jones, Vasquez, Hurtz, Couch, 

Gonzales and Pulley, and a potentially colorable Eighth Amendment claim against defendant 

Jones. The undersigned found that the other claims alleged were not potentially colorable. 

Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the separately issued order, IT IS HEREBY 

RECOMMENDED that all claims in the second amended complaint, except for the retaliation 

claims against defendants Swarthout, Chaiken, Jones, Vasquez, Hurtz, Couch, Gonzales and 

Pulley, and the Eighth Amendment claim against defendant Jones, be dismissed. 

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
