IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEROY WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0838 DFL CMK P

vs.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al.,

Defendants.

 / ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983 and has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 72-302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1). Authority to proceed in forma pauperis was granted by separate order. 

The complaint states a cognizable claim for relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) against defendant Marcus Cole, M.D. If the allegations of the 1

complaint are proven, plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of this

action. The court, therefore, finds that service is appropriate and will direct service by the U.S.
