LEONEL CANTU LOPEZ,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0822 LKK KJM P

vs.

DIANE BUTLER, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action

filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed May 23, 2006, the court found service of plaintiff’s

second amended complaint appropriate for one defendant but gave plaintiff the opportunity to

file a third amended complaint. On June 1, 2006, plaintiff notified the court he wished to

proceed with the second amended complaint. 

The second amended complaint states a cognizable claim for relief under 42

U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). If the allegations of this amended complaint are

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

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendant: Bunnell.
