12 INTRODUCTION Plaintiff Ahmed Mohamed Elghembri alleges that the refusal of unnamed dentists at San Quentin State Prison to give him a filling constituted deliberate indifference under the Eighth Amendment. His first amended 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint containing these allegations is now before me for review pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). Elghembri has failed to state any claim for relief. He thought that he should have his tooth filled; the dentists’ opinion was that the tooth had to be pulled rather than filled and offered to perform that procedure. Elghembri refused the offer.

This civil rights action is DISMISSED.…
