Plaintiff Cedric Greene (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

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

February 3, 2005. The court has screened plaintiff’s amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A and finds that it states a cognizable claim for relief under section 1983 against defendants

Weaver, Delarosa, Stebbner, and Rivera for retaliation, based on the allegation that defendants

segregated plaintiff for one-hundred ninety-three days after he complained in writing about a

correctional officer.1 Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a); Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N. A., 534 U.S. 506, 512-15
