UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN SAMUEL MIZERAK, JR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

ESLICK, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-0323 CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding pro se. He is proceeding with an action for 

violation of civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against defendants Eslick and Foxworthy who at 

all times relevant were employees of the El Dorado County Jail. 

On June 14, 2016, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. Shortly thereafter, plaintiff filed 

an amended complaint. Defendants have not opposed granting plaintiff leave to file an amended 

complaint, but have filed another motion to dismiss. In light of these facts, and because there 

does not appear to be any practical or legal reason not to permit plaintiff to proceed on his 

amended complaint, the court will dismiss plaintiff’s original complaint and this action will 

proceed on the amended complaint. Under separate order, the court will screen plaintiff’s 

amended complaint as the court is required to do under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Neither party need 

take any further action until the screening process is complete.

amended complaint.

3. The parties need not take any further action until so directed by the court.

Dated: November 8, 2016
