agency to the Clerk of the Court when amount in plaintiff’s account exceeds $10 until the filing

fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

 Plaintiff initiated this action by the filing of a complaint on May 2, 2007. Before the

court had an opportunity to screen the complaint, plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May

29, 2007. The court finds that, for the limited purposes of § 1915A screening, the amended

complaint states a cognizable claim for relief against defendant pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and

28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). 

Accordingly, it hereby is ordered that:

1. Plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted.

2. Plaintiff must pay the statutory filing fee of $350 for this action. All payments shall

be collected in accordance with the order to the Director of the California Department of

Corrections and Rehabilitation filed concurrently herewith.

3. Service is appropriate for defendant CMO Dr. Pomazal.

4. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff one USM-285 form, one summons, an

instruction sheet and one copy of the May 29, 2007, pleading.

5. Within 30 days from service of this order, plaintiff shall complete the attached Notice

of Submission of Documents and submit it to the court with the completed summons and USM285 form and two copies of the endorsed May 29, 2007, pleading.

6. Upon receipt of the necessary materials, the court will direct the United States

Marshal to serve defendant Pomazal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 without

payment of costs. 

Dated: July 9, 2007.
