ORDER REGARDING

DEFENDANT V. LOMELI

Per order filed on June 1, 2016, the court found that, liberally construed, 

plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint (SAC) states arguably cognizable claims

for damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for violations of the Eighth Amendment at

Salinas Valley State Prison (SVSP) against SVSP Associate Warden R. Binkele,

SVSP Correctional Administrator R. Parin, SVSP Correctional Counselor H.

Aguilera and SVSP Appeals Coordinator V. Comeli, and ordered the United

States Marshal to serve these defendants. 

The marshal has informed the court that there is no V. Comeli at SVSP,

but there is a V. Lomeli. A close inspection of plaintiff’s handwritten SAC

suggests that what the court read as V. Comeli may just as well be construed as

V. Lomeli. Good cause appearing therefor, the clerk is instructed to correct the

record to show V. Lomeli as the proper named defendant in this case and to

prepare summons, and for the marshal to serve, V. Lomeli at SVSP. 

SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 8, 2016 

CHARLES R. BREYER

United States District Judge
