IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREW R. LOPEZ,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-1605 GEB DAD P

vs.

S. COOK, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On November 4, 2005, the court filed findings and recommendations

recommending that certain claims and defendants be dismissed. Concurrently, the court filed an

order requiring plaintiff to submit certain documents to effect service on other defendants based

on a determination that plaintiff had stated cognizable claims in his third amended complaint as

to specified causes of action. In plaintiff’s objections to the findings and recommendations,

plaintiff argues that defendant Troy Singletary was inadvertently omitted from the list of

defendants for whom service is appropriate. The court agrees. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate with respect to defendant Troy Singletary.
