1 The Court also notes that the instant action constitutes the third lawsuit plaintiff has filed 

alleging negligence and other claims based on the same surgery, both of which prior 

actions were dismissed, the first, without prejudice, for failure to prosecute and the 

second, with prejudice, as barred by the statute of limitations. See Heyward v. United 

States Gov’t, No.14-cv-05114-KAW (N.D. Cal. May 13, 2015); Heyward v. United States 

Gov’t, No. 15-cv-04254-KAW (N.D. Cal. July 7, 2016).
