ORDER FINDING SERVICE OF

COMPLAINT APPROPRIATE, AND

FORWARDING USM-285 FORMS AND

SUMMONSES

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

SEND FORMS 

John R. Martinez (“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 the instant action on February 6, 2004, alleging a violation of his Eighth

Amendment rights by Corrections Officers M.D. Lunes, and M.G. Chamalbide. Plaintiff is

seeking injunctive relief, and compensatory and punitive damages. 

The Court has screened Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and finds

that it appears to state cognizable claims for relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for retaliation and

deliberate indifference in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Accordingly, it is HEREBY

ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants:

M.D. LUNES

M.G. CHAMALBIDE

2. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to send Plaintiff TWO (2) USM-285

service. Upon receipt of the above-described documents, the Court will direct the

United States Marshal to serve the above-named defendants pursuant to Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 4 without payment of costs.

5. The failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this

action be dismissed.
