ORDER

 

Plaintiff is a state inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In light of the February 14, 2022 order denying plaintiff’s 

motion to reconsider the undersigned’s screening order, plaintiff is directed to return the attached 

Notice of Election to the court within 21 days from the date of this order. If plaintiff does not 

return the Notice within the time provided, the court will order service of the complaint only on 

the claim found cognizable in the court’s January 10, 2022 screening order and will dismiss the 

remaining claims.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff has the option to proceed immediately on the Eighth Amendment deliberate 

indifference claim against defendant Ali. In the alternative, plaintiff may choose to 

amend the complaint to fix the deficiencies identified in the screening order of January
