FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY L. BROWN, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-02-2645 GEB KJM P

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action

filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed September 30, 2004 plaintiff's amended complaint

was dismissed with leave to file a second amended complaint. On December 20, 2004 plaintiff

filed a third request for an extension of time to file his second amended complaint. Good cause

appearing, plaintiff’s request for an extension of time will be granted and plaintiff’s December

20, 2004 second amended complaint will be deemed timely.

Plaintiff’s second amended complaint states a cognizable claim for relief under 42

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

proven, plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of the following claims

against the following defendants:
