Hammond, Palmer, D. L. Porter, S.L. Chapman, Dunlap, Kramer, plaintiff once again simply fails to set forth with any specificity how these individuals deprived him of a constitutional right. It is not enough to group them together at various points, with an inadequate factual predicate, and formulaically allege that they personally participated in a deprivation of his rights. Plaintiff has been given more than ample time to amend. The court will recommend dismissal of these defendants from this action. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that defendants I. Cardeno, B. Jones, D. Jackson, M. Dangler, C. Hammond, Palmer, D. L. Porter, S.L. Chapman, B. Dunlap, Kramer be dismissed from this action. These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twentyone days after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections with the court. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
