On November 30, 2007, the court screened plaintiff's complaint, found that it did not state a cognizable claim against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ("CDCR"), and informed plaintiff that he could either proceed with his action solely against defendants Harrison and Battey or file an amended complaint in an attempt to state a claim also against the CDCR. On December 12, 2007, plaintiff submitted the documents necessary for service against defendants Harrison and Battey. The court construes plaintiff's election to proceed solely against defendants Harrison and Battey as consent to dismissal of all claims against the CDCR. /////
