UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN SANTIAGO,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. CALDWELL, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:19-cv-00566-SKO (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT 

TO ISSUE SUMMONS AND NEW CIVIL 

CASE DOCUMENTS

Plaintiff Steven Santiago alleges the defendants subjected him to excessive force in 

violation of the Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause of the Eighth Amendment. (Doc. 14 at 4-

5.) The Court has screened Plaintiff’s second amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 

1915A and finds that it states cognizable claims for relief under 42 U.S.C. section 1983. 

Therefore, the Court directs the Clerk of the Court to issue summons for each defendant named in 

Plaintiff’s second amended complaint (Doc. 14).

In addition, since Plaintiff is now represented by counsel (see Doc. 10), the Court directs 

the Clerk of the Court to issue new case documents for a civil case. These documents will 

supersede the new case documents for a prisoner civil case issued on April 29, 2019 (Doc. 3), and 

May 2, 2019 (Doc. 5).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
