FORM COMPLAINT

 David E. Palismo (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On March 14, 2006, this Court issued Findings and Recommendations to dismiss the

action on the grounds that Plaintiff failed to state a claim for relief under the Eighth Amendment. 

Plaintiff filed Objections on April 21, 2006. Based on the information provided, it appears

Plaintiff may be able to cure the deficiencies by amending the Complaint. Thus, the Court will

grant Plaintiff time to file an Amended Complaint that cures the deficiencies outlined in the

Findings and Recommendations. Should Plaintiff be able to provide sufficient information to

state a cognizable Eighth Amendment claim for relief, the Court will vacate the pending Findings

and Recommendations and proceed with the next phase of the screening process. If, however,

the Amended Complaint does not state a claim for relief, the Court will refer the Findings and

Recommendations to the District Court for resolution. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. Plaintiff is GRANTED thirty (30) days from the date of service of this Order to

file an Amended Complaint that cures the deficiencies set forth in the Court’s

Findings and Recommendations issued March 14, 2006. 

2. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve a courtesy copy of the Findings and

Recommendations (Doc. 3) on Plaintiff as well as a blank civil rights Complaint

form. 

Plaintiff is forewarned that his failure to file an Amended Complaint will cause this Court

to forward the Findings and Recommendations to the District Court for resolution. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
