ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO DISMISS STATE LAW

CLAIMS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. This case proceeds on

plaintiff’s amended complaint filed on April 14, 2006 against defendants Adams and Ward for use of

excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment and the California Constitution. On May 21,

2007, defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s claims for violation of the California

Constitution for failure to comply with the California Tort Claims Act. On June 7, 2007, plaintiff

filed a notice of non-oppositon to the dismissal of his state law claims.

Accordingly, defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiff’s state law claims filed May 21, 2007 is

HEREBY GRANTED. Plaintiff’s state law claims are HEREBY DISMISSED and this case shall

proceed only on plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claims against defendants. Defendants are ordered to

respond to the amendment complaint within 20 days.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
