[ECF Nos. 8, 9, 10]
Plaintiff Mark Shane Thompson is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights

22

25
On March 5, 2018, Plaintiff notified the Court that he wished to proceed only on the excessive
force and dismiss all other claims. (ECF No. 9.)

5
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, the
6
