UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HECTOR ANDERSON,

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO 

ASSIGN DISTRICT JUDGE; ORDER 

DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO SUBMIT 

SERVICE DOCUMENTS; FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS TO DISMISS NONCOGNIZABLE CLAIMS

Recently, the Court screened plaintiff’s complaint and found it to state an Eighth 

Amendment claim against H. Anglea, Warden of the Sierra Conservation Center in Jamestown, 

California. (Doc. 24.) The Court further determined that no other claims were cognizable as plead. 

The Court provided Plaintiff the option to stand on this complaint, to proceed with it as screened, 

or to file an amended complaint. He has now filed a notice of his willingness to proceed on the 

complaint as screened and to dismiss the claims deemed non-cognizable. (Doc. 26.) Accordingly, 

the Court ORDERS:

1. The Clerk of Court to assign a district judge to this case; 

2. Service shall be initiated on the following defendant:

H. ANGLEA – Warden at Sierra Conservation Center 

3. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff one USM-285 form, one summons, a Notice 

of Submission of Documents form, an instruction sheet and a copy of the complaint
