U.S.C. § 1983; 42 U.S.C. §§ 12131 - 12164. Plaintiff commenced this action in state court, and

on November 30, 2007, defendants filed a notice of removal and a request that this court review

the initial complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. On January 3, 2008, plaintiff filed an

amended complaint and on January 10, 2008, defendants filed a request that this court review the

amended complaint. Having reviewed the January 3, 2008, amended complaint, the court finds

that, for the limited purposes of § 1915A screening, plaintiff states cognizable claims defendants

J. Thomas and T. Turner for retaliation, violating plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment rights and for
