DOCUMENTS TO PLAINTIFF 

 Henry Dean Palmer (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

action on October 31, 2003. On March 5, 2004, the Court dismissed the Complaint with leave to

amend as the Complaint did not state a cognizable claim for relief.

Complaint and it appears to state a cognizable Eighth Amendment claim for relief against

Defendants Hicinbotham, Cervantes and Garcia. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants:

D. HICINBOTHOM, Fac. Cpt.(A)

J.L. GARCIA, CC II (A)

Rule of Civil Procedure 4 without payment of costs.
