On May 1, 2019, Plaintiff Phillip Ricker, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a 

Complaint under (1) Cal. Gov. Code § 844.6(d); (2) the Eighth and Fourteenth 

Amendments to the United States Constitution; and (3) the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 

1983; (4) , Cal. Gov. Code § 844.6(d). Plaintiff alleges his rights were violated while he 

was housed at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility. 

On September 23, 2019, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On October 25, 2019,

motion and allowed for amended pleading. 

On November 13, 2019, Magistrate Judge Linda Lopez issued a Report and 

Recommendation ("R&R") on the motion to dismiss, recommending that it be denied as 

moot given the Order allowing for amended pleading.
