Defendants.

13
This matter has been referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to Title 28
14
U.S.C. §§ 636(b)(1)(A) and 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rules MJR 1, MJR 3, and MJR 4. This
15
matter comes before the Court on Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. Dkt. 24.
16
This action involves Plaintiff’s attempts to obtain prescription glasses at state expense
17
while he was an inmate in the Washington State prison system. The undersigned has reviewed
18
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, and the remaining record. The undersigned requests
19
defendants to provide additional briefing addressing the issue of personal participation of the
20
named defendants. The summary judgment motion identified defendants as persons who
21
responded to grievances or responded to kites for medical appointments. Defendants do not
22
clearly state if any named defendant played a part in examining plaintiff eyesight, refusing to
23
schedule him to see an optometrist, or prescribing glasses for Plaintiff’s alleged vision problems.
