IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH DAVID VINCZE,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0591 FCD KJM P

vs.

SCOTT KERNAN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed May 16, 2005, plaintiff's complaint was

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

complaint.

The 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 amended complaint are proven,

plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of his First Amendment claim

against defendant Bolon. Therefore, the court will order service of process on defendant Bolon. 

With respect to the remaining claims and other defendant identified in plaintiff’s amended

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