defendants Vo and Vahi for acting with deliberate indifference to plaintiff’s medical needs, in

violation of the Eighth Amendment. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants:

summonses, a Notice of Submission of Documents form, an instruction sheet and a
