IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BENNIE RAY BROWN, No. 07-cv-00711 LJO TAG

Plaintiff,

ORDER FOR SERVICE OF COMPLAINT

vs. AND ORDER

ERIC LANTZ,

STEVE WILSON,

Defendants.

______________________________/

Plaintiff Bennie Ray Brown (“Plaintiff”), is a non-prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis in

his pro se civil rights action, 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Docs. 1, 10). The matter has been referred to the

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rules 72-302 and 72-303. Plaintiff’s

complaint originally asserted four claims for relief. The first claim alleged a violation of Plaintiff’s

Fourth Amendment rights. The second claim alleged a violation of Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment

rights. The third claim alleged a violation of Plaintiff’s Fourteenth Amendment rights. The fourth

claim alleged false imprisonment under California state law. 

On November 29, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations

recommending that Plaintiff’s second and third claims be dismissed with prejudice, and the case be

allowed to proceed as to Plaintiff’s first and fourth claims. (Doc. 16). On January 7, 2008, the

United States District Judge assigned to this case adopted the Findings and Recommendations

without objection. (Doc. 17). Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment claims

have been dismissed from this action, and this case shall proceed only as to Plaintiff’s Fourth

Amendment and California state law claims referenced above.
