Plaintiff filed a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

1983 on May 10, 2010, alleging Defendant Baird is liable to him

for violation of Plaintiff’s constitutional rights while

incarcerated. Plaintiff alleges Defendant Baird violated his

Eighth Amendment rights by being deliberately indifferent to

Plaintiff’s serious medical needs. The complaint seeks

compensatory and punitive damages. 

In an order filed June 8, 2010, the Court granted

Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis and ordered

Defendant to answer the complaint. Defendant has not been

served nor answered or otherwise responded to the complaint. 

Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint on June 16,

2010. See Docket No. 7. Prior to 2009, Rule 15(a), Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure, allowed a plaintiff to amend their

complaint once as a matter of course at any time prior to the

service of a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f), whichever is

pleading has been filed. Accordingly,
