IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERWIN HARRIS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0009 DFL KJM P

vs.

CAL A. TERHUNE, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action

filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed November 3, 2004, plaintiff's complaint was

dismissed with leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff has filed an amended complaint.

The amended complaint states a cognizable claim for relief under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) against defendant Rohlfing. If the allegations of the amended

complaint are proven, plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of his Eighth

Amendment claim against defendant Rohlfing. With respect to the remainder of plaintiff’s

claims, plaintiff’s complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
