23 24 Plaintiff Michael Reyes-Villanueva proceeds pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 25 rights action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF Nos. 1, 4). The complaint alleges that 26 Defendants ignored Plaintiff’s medical needs after he fell from his top bunk bed. Further, it 27 alleges that Defendant Tyson Pogue disregarded Plaintiff’s safety because Pogue failed to 28 provide a means—e.g., a ladder—for Plaintiff to climb to his top bunk bed. 1 On November 15, 2024, the Court screened the complaint, concluding that Plaintiff 2 sufficiently stated claims against (1) Defendants Dr. Gustavian, Dr. Debbie, Registered Nurse 3 (RN) Mitchel, RN Eva, RN Khloe, RN Maria, RN Victoria, and RN Kristn for violating his 4 right to adequate medical care under the Fourteenth Amendment; and (2) Defendant Pogue for 5 violating his right to safety under the Fourteenth Amendment.1 The Court explained why the 6 complaint otherwise failed to state any claims and gave Plaintiff thirty days to either file (1) a 7 notice to go forward on his cognizable claims, (2) an amended complaint; or (3) a notice to 8 stand on his complaint and have it reviewed by a district judge. 9 On November 26, 2024, Plaintiff filed a notice stating that he wants to proceed only on 10 the claims that the Court found cognizable. (ECF No. 15). Additionally, Plaintiff corrects the 11 spellings of some of the Defendants and the title of another. Specifically, he states that Dr. 12 Gustavian, as spelled in the complaint, is actually “Dr. Gustavenson.” Further, RN Mitchel is 13 “RN Michelle,” RN Kristn is “RN Kristen,” and Dr. Debbie is “Nurse Debbie.” Thus, the Court 14 will implement these corrections going forward, direct the Clerk of Court to reflect them on the 15 docket, and treats the complaint as amended to the extent that these substitutions are made. 16 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to revise the 17 docket as follows: (1) Dr. Gustavian shall be corrected to “Dr. Gustavenson”; (2) RN Mitchel 18 shall be corrected to “RN Michelle”; (3) RN Kristn shall be corrected to “RN Kristen,” and (4) 19 Dr. Debbie shall be corrected to “Nurse Debbie.” Further, the complaint is considered amended 20 to reflect these changes. (ECF No. 1). 21 Additionally, for the reasons set forth in the Court’s screening order that was entered on 22 November 15, 2024 (ECF No. 14), and because Plaintiff has notified the Court that he wants to 23 proceed on the claims that the Court found should proceed past screening (ECF No. 15), IT IS 24 RECOMMENDED that all claims and Defendants be dismissed, except for Plaintiff’s claims 25 against (1) Defendants Dr. Gustavenson, Nurse Debbie, RN Michelle, RN Eva, RN Khloe, RN 26

27 1 The Court uses the names and titles of the Defendants as listed in the complaint and screening order. 28 However, as noted below, Plaintiff has since corrected some of the Defendants’ names and one of their titles. (ECF No. 15). 1 || Maria, RN Victoria, and RN Kristen for violating his right to adequate medical care under the 2 || Fourteenth Amendment; and (2) Defendant Pogue for violating his right to safety under the 3 || Fourteenth Amendment. 4 These findings and recommendations will be submitted to the United States District 5 || Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within 6 || thirty (30) days after being served with these findings and recommendations, Plaintiff may file 7 || written objections with the Court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate 8 || Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Any objections shall be limited to no more than 15 9 || pages, including exhibits. Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified 10 || time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 11 || (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991)). 12
