Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:04-CV-05884 OWW LJO P

ORDER FINDING SERVICE OF AMENDED

COMPLAINT APPROPRIATE, AND

FORWARDING SERVICE DOCUMENTS TO

PLAINTIFF

(Doc. 13) 

Plaintiff Rafael Antonio Espina (“plaintiff”) is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in

this civil action pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics,

403 U.S. 388 (1971), which provides a remedy for violation of civil rights by federal actors. The

court reviewed plaintiff’s amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and 28 U.S.C. §

1915(e)( 2) and found that the amended complaint appears to state a cognizable claim for relief

against defendants Harrison, Sabal, Hinz, Spack, Layport, Andrews, and Buckles for allegedlyacting

with deliberate indifference to plaintiff’s serious medical needs, in violation of the Eighth

Amendment. (Docs. 15, 18.) Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants:

DR. ANTONIO SABAL

JOHN HARRISON

JOHN HINZ

DR. ROBERT SPACK

HOLLY DIRK-LAYPORT
