Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se. On October 22, 2020, the undersigned
18
referred this action to the Post-Screening ADR Project and stayed this action for 120 days. (ECF

No. 30.) For the reasons stated herein, the stay is lifted and the undersigned recommends that this
20
action be dismissed.
21
Plaintiff’s complaint was filed with the court on January 9, 2020. (ECF No. 1.) This
22
action proceeds on the amended complaint filed August 10, 2020 against defendant Kourtnee
23
Amaral. (ECF No. 15.) Plaintiff alleges that defendant Amaral violated his Eighth Amendment
24
right to adequate medical care and state law by failing to treat his broken hand on or around
25
August 2018. (Id.)

The court’s own records reveal that on April 22, 2020, plaintiff filed an amended
complaint containing virtually identical allegations against defendant Amaral in 2:19-cv-1289
