UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC MARTIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

DAVID WINETT, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. CV-F-04-5358 OWW LJO P

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR LEAVE

TO FILE PROPOSED SECOND AMENDED

COMPLAINT

Plaintiff Eric Martin (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 6, 2005, the court ordered that this action proceed on

plaintiff’s amended complaint, filed December 27, 2004, against defendants Holcolm and Gracie for

violation of the Eighth Amendment, and defendants Aguirre and Huerta for denial of access to the

courts. (Doc. 27.) On May 12, 2005, the court ordered plaintiff to submit completed summonses

and USM-285 forms, and five copies of his amended complaint. (Doc. 29.) 

On June 14, 2005, plaintiff complied with the court’s order but submitted a second amended

complaint and requested leave to file the second amended complaint. Plaintiff amended his

complaint so as to omit the claims that were previously dismissed. Plaintiff contends that serving

the amended complaint with the dismissed claims will humiliate and embarrass him.

The court has reviewed the proposed second amended complaint. The complaint includes

only those claims that were found to be cognizable by the court. Therefore, the court will grant

plaintiff’s request and the second amended complaint will be served on defendants.
