IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KRISTOPHER M. RICHARDSON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-2625 MCE KJM P

vs.

HIGH DESERT STATE PRISON, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action

filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed May 20, 2005, plaintiff's complaint was dismissed

with leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff has now filed an amended complaint.

Plaintiff’s amended complaint states cognizable claims for relief under 42 U.S.C.

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

plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of his Eighth Amendment claims

against defendants. With respect to the other claims and defendants identified in plaintiff’s

amended complaint, plaintiff’s amended complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be

granted. Therefore, the court will only order service of process on the defendants identified

above.
