Plaintiff Edward Jones (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on July

21, 2003. The court has screened plaintiff’s third amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A

and finds that it appears to state a cognizable claim for relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against

defendants Lundy, Manning, and Cadena for using excessive physical force, in violation of the

Eighth Amendment. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants:

LT. LUNDY

C/O MANNING

C/O CADENA

2. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff three (3) USM-285 forms, three (3)

summonses, a Notice of Submission of Documents form, an instruction sheet and a

copy of the third amended complaint filed April 15, 2005.
