Plaintiff Ruben Lugo, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the Central District of 

California on March 4, 2013. (ECF No. 3.) Plaintiff’s Complaint and First Amended 

Complaint (ECF No. 8) were screened and dismissed, with leave to amend, on March 

19, 2013 and May 14, 2013, respectively, for failure to state cognizable claims. (ECF 

Nos. 5 and 9.)

On September 30, 2013, having reviewed Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint

(ECF No. 12), the Court dismissed, without leave to amend, all of Plaintiff claims except 

his Eighth Amendment claim based on conditions of confinement in the Security Housing 

Unit at the California Correctional Institution (CCI) in Tehachapi, California. The 

conditions of confinement claim was dismissed with leave to amend. Plaintiff’s sole 

remaining claim alleges violations of Plaintiff’s federal rights based on circumstances at
