IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFFERY BROADWAY, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-1482 MCE KJM P

vs.

T. FELKNER, et al., 

Defendants.

 / ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. On February 6, 2007, this court

found service appropriate for four defendants named in plaintiff’s complaint and directed the

Clerk of the Court to send him the necessary paperwork for service of summons and complaint.

On February 2, 2007, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint; however, on

February 16, 2007, he filed a request to “void” the second amended complaint and proceed with

the first amended complaint. Since then, he has sent several letters inquiring as to whether the

court has received the completed documents for service and on April 18, 2007, filed a request for

the court to reissue the necessary documents. Because the court has not received his initial

packet of materials, this is appropriate. 

The first amended complaint states a cognizable claim for relief pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). If the allegations of the complaint are proven, plaintiff

has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of this action.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The second amended complaint filed February 9, 2007 is disregarded.

2. Plaintiff’s April 18, 2007 request that the court reissue the documents for

service is granted. 

3. Service is appropriate for the following defendants: Townsend, Dangler, Sisto,

and Barnes insofar as the complaint alleges they violated plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment rights. 

4. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff four USM-285 forms, one

summons, an instruction sheet and a copy of the first amended complaint filed August 14, 2006.

5. Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete the

attached Notice of Submission of Documents and submit the following documents to the court:

a. The completed Notice of Submission of Documents;

b. One completed summons;

c. One completed USM-285 form for each defendant listed in number 3

above; and 

d. Five copies of the endorsed first amended complaint filed August 14,

2006. 

6. Plaintiff need not attempt service on defendants and need not request waiver of

service. Upon receipt of the above-described documents, the court will direct the United States

Marshal to serve the above-named defendants pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4

without payment of costs. 

DATED: September 19, 2007.
