16 ECF No. 19
SIXTY-DAY DEADLINE
18 19 Plaintiff Rondell Earl Virgil is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil 20 rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He alleges that numerous “Doe” defendants 21 violated his Eighth Amendment rights by moving him from general population to the sensitive 22 needs yard (“SNY”). ECF No. 19 at 7-9. Plaintiff claims that the defendants knew that he would 23 be assaulted once he was placed in the sensitive needs yard. Id. at 9. I find, for the reasons stated 24 below, that the complaint does not state a cognizable claim, but I will give plaintiff leave to 25 amend.
