UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KAREEM J. HOWELL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

J. MACOMBER, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0441 KJN P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and 

is proceeding pro se. Plaintiff consented to proceed before the undersigned for all purposes. See 

28 U.S.C. § 636(c). On April 4, 2016, the court found that plaintiff stated potentially cognizable 

Eighth Amendment claims against defendants Brady, Iobokwe, and Tran, and dismissed 

plaintiff’s claims against the remaining defendants, but granted him leave to file an amended 

complaint. On May 5, 2016, plaintiff elected not to amend the complaint, and provided forms for 

service of process on defendants Brady, Iobokwe, and Tran, consenting to dismissal of the 

remaining defendants. (ECF No. 6.) Thus, this action shall proceed solely on plaintiff’s Eighth 

Amendment claims against defendants Brady, Iobokwe, and Tran.
