KENNETH GREGORY WILLIAMS, Plaintiff, v. OREGON DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
AIKEN, District Judge.
The State Defendants now move to dismiss plaintiff's claims against defendants Sprague, Hallman and Kitzhaber. State Defendants' Partial Rule 12(B)(6) Motion to Dismiss (#57).
Plaintiff's motion to dismiss plaintiff's claims against defendants Sprague and Hallman is allowed for the reasons set forth in Judge Simon's Order (#13) entered July 30, 2013. Specifically, plaintiff's claims against these defendants is "more in the nature of a request for reconsideration" of the court's dismissal of plaintiff's prior civil rights action, Williams v. Oregon Department of Corrections, Civ. No. 3:10-cv-00730-SI.
Defendants motion to dismiss plaintiff‘s claim against defendant Kitzhaber is allowed because plaintiff has failed to allege that defendant Kitzhaber engaged in any action that deprived plaintiff of of his federally protected rights. See, Stevenson v. Koskey, 877 F.2d 1435, 1439 (9 Cir. 1989); Johnson v. Duffy, 588 F.2d 740 (9 Cir. 1978).
Defendants' Motion (#57) is allowed. Plaintiff's claims against defendants Sprague, Hallman and Kitzhaber are dismissed with prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED
