THIRTY DAYS

(Doc. 33)

Plaintiff David D. Harris (“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

August 26, 2005. On November 2, 2006, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint, with leave to

amend, for failure to state a claim. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on November 22, 2006,

and on June 27, 2007, the court dismissed plaintiff’s amended complaint for failure to state a

claim and granted plaintiff one final opportunity to amend. Plaintiff filed a second amended

complaint on July 23, 2007. On August 23, 2007, the undersigned issued findings and

recommendations, finding the second amended complaint states a cognizable claim for relief

under section 1983 against defendant Bakeman in his individual capacity for allegedly violating

the Eighth Amendment by knowingly placing plaintiff in a regular cell without medical attention

while he was actively bleeding. Rhodes v. Chapman, 452 U.S. 337, 347 (1981); Toguchi v.
