IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KAREEM J. HOWELL,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-0519 MCE KJM P

vs.

A. AUDETTE, 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 March 1, 2007, plaintiff's complaint was

dismissed with leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff has now filed an amended

complaint.

The amended complaint states cognizable First Amendment claims for relief

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) against defendants Audette and

Schirmer. Therfore, the court will order service of process as to defendants Audette and

Schirmer. With respect to the other claims and defendants identified in plaintiff’s amended

complaint, plaintiff’s amended complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
