IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT FUENTES,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0675 FCD GGH P

vs.

MIKE KNOWLES, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed February 2, 2006, the United States Marshal was directed to

serve process on defendants in this action, including Chief Medical Officer Claude Mitchell. On

February 21, 2006, the United States Marshal returned service unexecuted on Chief Medical

Officer Claude Mitchell because said individual is deceased. 

After reviewing the amended complaint, it appears that plaintiff’s claims against

defendant Mitchell are extinguished. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 25. Accordingly, the court

recommends that the claims against defendant Mitchell be dismissed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that the claims against

defendant Mitchell be dismissed.
