IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KARLUK MAYWEATHERS,

Plaintiff, No. 2:09-cv-3284 LKK KJN P

vs.

JAMES WALKER, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Pursuant to this court’s screening of plaintiff’s original complaint pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915A(a), the court found that the complaint may state cognizable claims against

defendants Nasir, Sudran and Swarthout, but did not state a claim against defendant Smith. (Dkt.

No. 12.) The court gave plaintiff the option of proceeding on his original complaint or filing an

amended complaint that added a cognizable claim against defendant Smith. Plaintiff chose to

proceed on his original complaint against defendants Nasir, Sudran and Swarthout, effectively

choosing to terminate this action against defendant Smith.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that defendant Barry Smith be

dismissed from this action.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 21 days
