Plaintiff seeks to hold defendants liable for violations of his civil rights while incarcerated
at Wasco State Prison. (Doc. 11.) The magistrate judge screened Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a) and found Plaintiff stated a cognizable claim for excessive force against
Defendant D. Maner. (Doc. 9.) However, the magistrate judge found Plaintiff failed to state
cognizable claims against any other named defendant. (Id.) The magistrate judge granted
Plaintiff leave to amend, or indicated he may notify the Court of his willingness to proceed on the
cognizable claim. (Id.) In response, Plaintiff indicated he was willing to proceed only on the
cognizable claim. (Doc. 10.)
Based upon Plaintiff’s response, the magistrate judge recommended: (1) this action
proceed only on Plaintiff’s excessive force claim against Defendant Maner and all other claims
and Defendants be dismissed from the action. (Doc. 12) The Court served the Findings and
1
1
Recommendations on Plaintiff and notified him that any objections were due within 14 days.
2
(Id.) The Court advised him the “[f]ailure to file objections within the specified time may result in
3
the waiver of rights on appeal.” (Id., citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir.
4
2014).) Plaintiff did not file objections, and the time to do so has passed.
5
According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court performed a de novo review of this case.
6
Having carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes the Findings and Recommendations
7
are supported by the record and proper analysis. Thus, the Court ORDERS:
