IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS MCENTYRE, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-1845 EFB P

vs.

MATTHEW CATE, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding without counsel and in forma pauperis in

an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local

Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and is before the undersigned pursuant to plaintiff’s

consent. See 28 U.S.C. § 636; see also E.D. Cal. Local Rules, Appx. A, at (k)(4).

On February 25, 2010, the court found that the complaint stated cognizable claims as to

defendants Long, Atkins, Clawford, Hoelm, Stamback, Evens and Edwards, but not as to

defendants Cate, Barnes or Ayers. The court gave plaintiff 30 days to submit materials for

service of process on defendants Long, Atkins, Clawford, Hoelm, Stamback, Evens and

Edwards, or, alternatively, to file an amended complaint attempting to state a claim under the

Eighth Amendment and/or against defendants Cate, Barnes or Ayers.
