Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 MICHAEL ALAN DEAN HILL, Case No. 2:25-cv-0748-JDP (P) Plaintiff, v. ORDER JONATHAN ESLICK, et al., Defendants. 16 17 Plaintiff, a pretrial detainee proceeding pro se, alleges in his complaint that defendants Jonathan Eslick, Dennis Cemo, Kyle Danielson, Balderas, Tinker, Garrett Even, Brandon Bell, Ruby Verdin Bell, all correctional officers at El Dorado County Jail, violated his Fourteenth Amendment right not to be subjected to excessive force. ECF No. 9. Plaintiff fails to state cognizable claims against some defendants but does state potentially colorable Fourteenth Amendment claims against defendants Even, Bell, Verdin-Hernandez, and Eslick. Plaintiff may, if he chooses, file an amended complaint that addresses the deficiencies noted herein, or proceed 25
1 Plaintiff lists a defendant Ruby Verdin Bell in the section for defendants, but throughout the complaint, references a Ruby Verdin Hernandez. See ECF No. 1 at 4, 6.…
