Jonathan Christopher Coffer v. Ericson, et al.

Summary

The court orders random assignment of a United States District Judge and recommends dismissal without prejudice of the claims against the Doe defendants, Grigsby, and CDCR. The recommendation follows the plaintiff’s failure to elect whether to amend the complaint or proceed on the claims previously found cognizable against other defendants.

Holdings

1. The magistrate judge recommended dismissal without prejudice of plaintiff's claims against the Doe defendants, Grigsby, and CDCR because plaintiff failed to respond to the screening order and make an election.

Questions Presented

1. Whether plaintiff's failure to elect between amending the complaint and proceeding on the cognizable claims warranted dismissal without prejudice of the insufficient claims against Grigsby, the Doe defendants, and CDCR.
2. Whether the action should be assigned to a United States district judge.
