ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO

SUBMIT USM 285 FORMS

Plaintiff is a prisoner in federal custody. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to Bivens v. Six

Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), which provides a

remedy for violation of civil rights by federal actors. Plaintiff filed the complaint in this action on

January 16, 2007.

The complaint appears to state cognizable claims for relief for violation of plaintiff’s rights

under the First Amendment against the named defendants. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED

that:

1. Service is appropriate for defendants D. Smith, B. Avalos and J. Karge.

2. The Clerk of the Court shall send Plaintiff three (3) USM-285 forms, three (3)

summons, a Notice of Submission of Documents form, an instruction sheet and a

copy of the complaint filed January 16, 2007.
