vs.

SCOTT KERNAN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 18, 2005, the court issued an order addressing plaintiff’s

complaint filed November 3, 2005. The court found that plaintiff’s complaint stated a colorable

claim for relief against defendant Pike. The court dismissed the claims against defendant Kernan

with thirty days to file an amended complaint. Thirty days passed and plaintiff did not file an

amended complaint. Accordingly, the court now orders service of defendant Pike and will

separately recommend dismissal of defendant Kernan.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants: Pike.

2. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff 1 USM-285 form, one summons, an

instruction sheet and a copy of the complaint filed November 3, 2005.
