CASE NO. 1:09-cv-01202-LJO-SMS PC

SCREENING ORDER DISMISSING CLAIM

FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

(Doc. 10)

ORDER AUTHORIZING SERVICE OF

AMENDED COMPLAINT ON EIGHTH

AMENDMENT CLAIM, AND REQUIRING

PLAINTIFF TO COMPLETE AND RETURN

SERVICE DOCUMENTS WITHIN THIRTY

DAYS

(Doc. 10)

Plaintiff Raymond Hill, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on July 13, 2009. The Court has screened Plaintiff’s

amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, and finds that it states a cognizable claim against

Defendant Ah for violation of the Eighth Amendment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a); Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129

S.Ct. 1937, 1949 (2009); Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1964-

65 (2007). However, the Court does not have jurisdiction to grant Plaintiff’s request for injunctive

relief in the form of revocation of Defendant Ah’s medical license. Because this form of relief is not

available to Plaintiff in this action, that claim shall be dismissed and this action shall proceed as one

for damages only.
