IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES JONES,

Plaintiff, CV F 04 5742 AWI WMW P

vs. ORDER 

 A. K. SCRIBNER, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The court has screened plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915A and finds that it appears to state cognizable claims for relief under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 against defendants Scribner, Sheppard-Brooks, Valdez, Mendoza, Terle and Gonzales for

deliberate indifference to Plaintiff’s health and safety, resulting in inury to Plaintiff, in violation

of the Eighth Amendment. 

Plaintiff, currently incarcerated at Lancaster State Prison, brings this action against

correctional officials employed by the Department of Corrections at Corcoran State Prison. 

Plaintiff alleges that each of the defendants were aware of the presence of toxic mold and pigeon

derived antigens (from pigeon feces) in the lunch room, and failed to correct the problem. 

Plaintiff alleges that he was taken to the hospital three times for respiratory problems related to

the unsafe conditions in the dining hall. Liberally construed, Plaintiff has stated a claim for

relief against the named defendants.
