Plaintiff,

v.

N. DIXON, et al.,
15
ORDER AND
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Defendants.
16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. On November 9, 2017, the court screened
17
18
plaintiff’s complaint as the court is required to do under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The court
19
informed plaintiff that his complaint states a claim upon which relief could be granted arising
20
under the Eighth Amendment against defendants Dixon and Farris for use of excessive force and,
21
in all other respects, plaintiff’s complaint fails to state claims upon which relief can be granted.
22
The court informed plaintiff that he could proceed on his Eighth Amendment claims against
23
Dixon and Farris, or attempt to cure the deficiencies with respect to other claims in an amended
24
complaint. The time allotted to plaintiff to file an amended complaint has expired. Therefore,
25
this action will proceed on the Eighth Amendment claims against Dixon and Ferris.

Marshal to serve the above-named defendants pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4
15
without payment of costs.

23
Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time
