Defendants.

Plaintiff, a former detainee in the Sacramento County Jail, proceeds pro se and in forma

pauperis with this civil rights case filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has consented to the

19

jurisdiction of the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge for all purposes pursuant to 28

20

U.S.C. § 636(c) and Local Rule 305(a). See ECF No. 13.
By order filed April 24, 2017, plaintiff was directed to show cause in writing, on or before
