On March 26, 2020, the assigned magistrate judge screened plaintiff’s complaint and concluded that plaintiff has failed to state any cognizable claims. (Doc. No. 19.)

On April 17, 2020, plaintiff notified the court of his intention to stand by his complaint. (Doc. No. 22). Accordingly, on April 20, 2020, the magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations recommending that this action be dismissed for failure to state a claim. (Doc. No. 23 at 9.) The findings and recommendations were served on plaintiff and contained notice 4:fN UVES TONE NSU ie POC OP Ee Oy Ove
