IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER JACKSON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-2023 WBS GGH P

vs.

JAMES WALKER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, seeks relief

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By Order, filed on April 4, 2007, several defendants were

dismissed from plaintiff’s first amended complaint, but plaintiff was granted leave to file a

second amended complaint. By letter filed on April 27, 2007, plaintiff filed a document

indicating that he did not intend to file a second amended complaint and did not intend to amend

his claims as to the defendants dismissed in the court’s April 4, 2007, Order, but did wish to add

an exhibit to his first amended complaint; he attached a copy of his first amended complaint and

the exhibit or exhibits he wished to have included. Although plaintiff has not filed a second

amended complaint, as he wishes to proceed with different exhibits, the court will deem his filing

of April 27, 2007, to be a second amended complaint and will, by concurrently filed findings and

recommendations, recommend that certain defendants be dismissed from this action.

The second amended complaint states a cognizable claim for relief pursuant to 42

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

proven, plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of this action.

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

1. Plaintiff’s filing of April 27, 2007, is deemed a second amended complaint

because plaintiff has thereby altered the exhibits to the first amended complaint and seeks to

proceed in this action with the modified exhibits.

2. The Clerk of the Court is to docket plaintiff’s filing of April 27, 2007, nunc pro

tunc (docket entry # 11), as the second amended complaint.

3. Service is appropriate for the following defendants: James Walker, Anthony J.

Malfi, D. Lieber, Karen Kelly, Haythorne, Hague, Rodriguez, Rueller, Arnt, Baughman,

Raymond, Alice Smith. 

4. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff 12 (twelve) USM-285 forms, one

summons, an instruction sheet and a copy of the second complaint filed April 27, 2007.

5. Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete the

attached Notice of Submission of Documents and submit the following documents to the court:

a. The completed Notice of Submission of Documents;

b. One completed summons;

c. One completed USM-285 form for each defendant listed in number 3

above; and 

d. Thirteen (13) copies of the endorsed second amended complaint filed

April 27, 2007. 

6. Plaintiff need not attempt service on defendants and need not request waiver of

service. Upon receipt of the above-described documents, the court will direct the United States
