FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TONI DEWARD LEVINGSTON, No. CIV S-06-0027-FCD-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

PAUL FREEMAN BONNET,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s complaint (Doc. 1), filed on January

5, 2006.

The complaint appears to state a cognizable claim for relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). Specifically, this action proceeds on plaintiff’s excessive

force claim against defendant Bonnet. There are no other claims or defendants. If the allegations

are proven, plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of this action. The

court, therefore, finds that service is appropriate and will direct service by the U.S. Marshal

without pre-payment of costs. Plaintiff is informed, however, that this action cannot proceed

further until plaintiff complies with this order. Plaintiff is warned that failure to comply with this
