Plaintiff,

ORDER
VIVIAN VUONG,
Defendant.

17
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action under 42
18
U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion, ECF No. 50, for an order requiring
19
“Defendant ‘UC Davis Eye Center’” to file an answer. Plaintiff’s motion is denied because UC
20
Davis Eye Center is not named as a defendant to this action. Vivian Vuoung is the only named
21
defendant and, as to Defendant Vuoung, the Court has determined that Plaintiff fails to state a
22
claim upon which relief can be granted. See ECF No. 32 (Findings and Recommendations).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: September 16, 2022
