Plaintiff,

1:16-CV-558-LJO-MJS (PC)

v.
CONALL MCCABE, et al.,

10

Defendants.

13

Defendants Clark, Beregovskaya, Lenoir, and McCabe request that the Court clarify “whether

14 Plaintiff’s Fourteenth Amendment claim is proceeding against them or was dismissed” by the Court’s
15 screening Order.
16

The Court found in its screening order that “Plaintiff has stated claims under the Eighth and

17 Fourteenth Amendment against Clark, Beregovskaya, Lenoir, and McCabe.” The order’s conclusion,
18 however, failed to make clear that Plaintiff’s Fourteenth Amendment claim against those Defendants
19 may proceed. Accordingly, to clarify, the Court ORDERS that Plaintiff’s Fourteenth Amendment claim
20 against Defendants Clark, Beregovskaya, Lenoir, and McCabe may proceed.
21
22 IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
