IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN HARDNEY, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0476 DFL KJM P

vs.

ANTHONY LaMARQUE, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed December 8, 2005, plaintiff's amended

complaint was dismissed with leave to file a second amended complaint or to notify the court

that plaintiff wishes to proceed on the first amended complaint as it was evaluated in the order of

December 8. Plaintiff has now notified the court he wishes to proceed on the amended

complaint, filed March 8, 2005. 

The 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 the amended complaint are proven,

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