Plaintiff Thomas Goolsby (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

Plaintiff filed his complaint on September 17, 2009. The Court screened Plaintiff’s

complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and finds that it states a cognizable claim for relief

under§ 1983 against defendant Gonzales for violation of the Eighth Amendment.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

Warden Gonzales

By separate order, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s Equal Protection claim and Defendants L. L. 1

Schulteis, M. Gifford, K. Holland, R. Mayo, C. Rousta and N. Grannis from the action for failure to state a claim

upon which relief may be granted.
