   MEMORANDUM

Gary Ewing, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his safety. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915A and 1915(e)(2). Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir.2000); Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir.1998) (order). We reverse and remand.

Ewing’s complaint, liberally construed, was sufficient to require that the district court order the complaint to be served. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment and remand with instructions for the district court to order service by the United States Marshal.

Ewing shall bear his own costs on appeal.

Ewing’s pending motion to extend time to file his opening brief is granted.

We have considered the opening brief filed on September 1, 2010.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
