JAMES JENNINGS,

vs.

THERESA SCHWARTZ, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff James Jennings is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and informa pauperis. On

May 8, 2007, plaintiff filed a complaint seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January

30, 2008, this court screened that complaint and found that plaintiff has stated a colorable claim

for relief against defendants Andreasen, Bick, and Kofed, but not with respect to defendant

Sawicki. 

Plaintiff was given thirty-five days to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff has not done

so. Therefore, defendant Sawicki is dismissed from this action. Plaintiff will proceed against

defendants Andreasen, Bick, and Kofed. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants: 

a. Andreasen
