Plaintiff,

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

RECOMMENDING DISMISSAL OF CLAIMS 

AND DEFENDANTS

(ECF No. 16)

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action filed pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. 

On January 18, 2024, the Court screened Plaintiff’s second amended complaint and found 

that he stated cognizable a cognizable retaliation claim against Defendant K. Jackson. (ECF No. 

15.) However, Plaintiff failed to state any other cognizable claims. Plaintiff was granted one 

final opportunity to file an amended complaint or notify the Court of his intent to proceed on the 

claims found to be cognizable. (Id.) On February 12, 2024, Plaintiff filed a notice of intent to 

proceed on the claims found to be cognizable. (ECF No. 16.) 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall randomly assign a 

District Judge to this action.

Further, it is HEREBY RECOMMENDED that:

1. This action proceed against Defendant K. Jackson for retaliation in violation of the 

First Amendment; and

2. All other claims be dismissed from the action for failure to state a cognizable 

claim for relief. 

These Findings and Recommendations will be submitted to the United States District 

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen 

(14) days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, Plaintiff may file written 

objections with the Court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s 

Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the 

specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 

838-39 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991)).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 14, 2024
