FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THERON KENNETH HOLSTON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-2954 DAD P

vs.

JOSEPH DEBANCA, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. Plaintiff

seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed February 16, 2010, plaintiff’s complaint

was dismissed with leave to amend. Plaintiff has filed an amended complaint.

Plaintiff’s amended complaint appears to state cognizable claims for relief

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). If the allegations of the amended

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

action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service of the amended complaint is appropriate for the following defendants:

Joseph DeBanca and Phillip Spanini.
