FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN W. LENTZ, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-2617 LKK DAD P

vs.

DR. ATHAUASSIOUS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

previously provided plaintiff with the legal standards applicable to an Eighth Amendment claim,

and plaintiff should review those legal standards as he prepares his amended complaint. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s October 24, 2005 request

for an extension of time is denied without prejudice.
