vs.

J. Z. SCOTT, et al., ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Certain defendants and claims were dismissed from

plaintiff’s original complaint with leave granted for plaintiff to file an amended complaint. See

Order, filed on March 27, 2006. 

Plaintiff's amended complaint states a cognizable claim for relief against

defendants Assoc. Warden Sterling O’Ran; Correctional Officer C/O J.Z. Scott; Librarian Portia

Rogers; Senior Librarian Cheng; Corr. Sgt. Imhoff, with respect to plaintiff’s retaliation claims

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). If the allegations of the amended

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

action. By concurrently filed findings and recommendations, this court finds that some claims

and defendants set forth in the amended complaint should be dismissed.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
