On November 30, 2007, the court screened 19 plaintiff’s complaint, found that it did not state a cognizable claim against the California 20 Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”), and informed plaintiff that he could 21 either proceed with his action solely against defendants Harrison and Battey or file an amended 22 complaint in an attempt to state a claim also against the CDCR. On December 12, 2007, plaintiff 23 submitted the documents necessary for service against defendants Harrison and Battey. The 24 court construes plaintiff’s election to proceed solely against defendants Harrison and Battey as 25 consent to dismissal of all claims against the CDCR. 26 ///// 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 2 3 Accordingly, it is hereby recommended that the CDCR be dismissed from this action without prejudice. These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 4 assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twenty days 5 after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written 6 objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties.
