UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAMON EDDIE MENDEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. MORALES, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:22-cv-01084-EFB (PC)

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in an action brought 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 3, 2022, the court informed plaintiff that he could 

proceed with potentially cognizable claims against defendants Morales and Raphael or he could 

file an amended complaint in an effort to also state a claim against defendant Matthews. ECF 

No. 5. Plaintiff has elected not to amend his complaint and to proceed only with the claims

identified by the court. ECF No. 8. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court randomly assign a United States 

District Judge to this case.

Further, it is RECOMMENDED that plaintiff’s claims against defendant Matthews 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
