Plaintiff Reginald Ray York is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On June 22, 2016, the assigned magistrate judge screened plaintiff’s complaint and found
22
that it stated the following cognizable claims: (1) against defendant Garcia for excessive use of
23
force; (2) against defendant Neighbors for failure to protect plaintiff from the use of force; and (3)
24
against defendants Garcia, Neighbors, and Stewart for failure to decontaminate plaintiff’s cell.

(Doc. No. 8.) Plaintiff was ordered to either file an amended complaint or notify the court that he
26
did not wish to file any amended complaint and was willing to proceed on the claims set forth in
27
his original complaint which had been found to be cognizable. (Id.) Thereafter, plaintiff sought
28
reconsideration of the magistrate judge’s order by the undersigned (Doc. No. 9), and on

November 3, 2016, this court denied reconsideration. (Doc. No. 10). The assigned magistrate
2
judge again granted plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint or notify the court of his
3
willingness to proceed only on his cognizable claims. (Doc. No. 11.) On November 18, 2016,
4
plaintiff notified the court that he did not intend to file an amended complaint and wished to
5
proceed only with the aforementioned claims defendants against Garcia, Neighbors, and Stewart.

(Doc. No. 12.)

1. This action shall proceed on plaintiff’s December 7, 2015 complaint (Doc. No. 1) with

respect to the following claims: (1) against defendant Garcia for excessive force; (2)
10
against defendant Neighbors for failure to protect plaintiff from the use of force; and

plaintiff’s cell.
