Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 17, 2010, the court found that the complaint stated the following cognizable claims for relief: (1) against defendants Trojanowski, City of Fairfield, and Rainey for violating his rights under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution in connection with the allegedly excessive force used against him in his arrest and the policies and/or failure to train that caused such excessive force to be used; (2) against currently unknown defendants for violating his rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments for allegedly failing to provide him with adequate medical treatment; (3) against defendant Trojanowski for assault and battery in violation of California law; and (4) against defendants Trojanowski, City of Fairfield, Rainey, and currently unknown persons for intentional infliction of emotional distress under California law.

cognizable claim for relief against any defendant for violating the Fourteenth Amendment in connection with plaintiff's arrest, failed to state a cognizable claim for deliberate indifference to a serious medical need under the Eighth Amendment and had failed to state a cognizable statelaw based "excessive force" claim separate from the state law assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims. The court gave plaintiff 30 days to submit materials for service of process on defendants, or, alternatively, 30 days to file an amended complaint to attempt to state cognizable claims under the theories listed above. The times for acting passed and plaintiff did not submit the materials necessary to serve process on defendants, did not file an amended complaint or otherwise respond to the court's order. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Local Rule 110. 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 fourteen days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991). DATED: August 26, 2010.
