The report and recommendation states, “There is no allegation that, in 1

arresting plaintiff and using force to do so, [Officer Corder] acted beyond his

authority as a peace officer.” The court finds, as correctly stated elsewhere in the

report, plaintiff does allege a claim for excessive force pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

The report is otherwise adopted and the recommendation accepted.
