 v.

R.J. HERNANDEZ, et al., 

Defendants. /

No. C 02-05602 SBA (PR)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS'

MOTION TO SCREEN AMENDED

COMPLAINT PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A

Defendants, who are represented by the State Attorney General's Office,1 have filed a motion

asking the Court to screen the amended complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. 

In an Order dated February 8, 2007, the Court lifted the stay in the instant action entered in

November, 2002. The action was reopened, and the Court directed Plaintiff to file an amended

complaint. After being granted an extension of time to amend the complaint, Plaintiff filed an

amended complaint on July 2, 2007. Because this case is filed by a prisoner, the Court must engage

in a preliminary screening of the amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A.

Defendants' motion to screen the amended complaint is GRANTED. Accordingly, the Court

will conduct its review of the amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A in a separate

written Order.

This Order terminates Docket no. 50.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: 3/3/08
