(Id.) 22 On March 8, 2021, Plaintiff filed a notice that he “wishes to proceed on only the First 23 Amendment claim” against Defendant Agame. (Doc. 14.) Accordingly, and for the reasons set 24 forth in the Court’s screening order (Doc. 13), the Court RECOMMENDS that: 25 1. Defendant Esmond DISMISSED; and, 26 2. The claims in Plaintiff’s complaint be DISMISSED, except for its First 27 Amendment claim against Defendant Agame.
