UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAYMOND WRIGHT,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. SHANNON, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

NO. 1:05-cv-01485-LJO-YNP-GSA (PC)

ORDER FINDING SERVICE OF COMPLAINT

APPROPRIATE, AND FORWARDING

SERVICE DOCUMENTS TO PLAINTIFF FOR

COMPLETION AND RETURN WITHIN

THIRTY DAYS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 This action proceeds on the November 21, 2006, second amended

complaint. The Court screened Plaintiff’s second amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

1915A, and found that it states cognizable claims against Defendant Rumbles and John Doe for

excessive force in for violation of the Eighth Amendment.. Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a); Erickson v. 1

Pardus, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200 (2007); Alvarez v. Hill, 518 F.3d 1152, 1157-58 (9th Cir. 2008). 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants:

RUMBLES

In a Findings and Recommendations issued concurrently with this Order, the Court recommended that

1

Plaintiff’s remaining claims and defendants be dismissed. In his March 8, 2010, notice to the court regarding his

intention to proceed on the second amended complaint, Plaintiff indicated that he is unable to identify the John Doe

defendant. This action therefore proceeds against Defendant Rumbles.
