On October 31, 2018, the undersigned screened Plaintiff’s complaint and found that Plaintiff 21 stated a cognizable excessive force claim against Defendant H. Vera. (ECF No. 5.) However, 22 Plaintiff did not state any other claims for relief. (Id.) The Court granted Plaintiff leave to amend the 23 complaint or notify the Court in writing of his intent to proceed only the retaliation claim. (Id.) On 24 November 19, 2018, Plaintiff notified the Court of his intent to proceed only on the excessive force 25 claim. (ECF No. 9.) As a result, the Court will recommend that this action only proceed on the 26 excessive force claim against Defendant H. Vera, and all other claims and Defendants be dismissed for 27 the reasons stated in the Court’s October 31, 2018 screening order. Fed. R. Civ.
