Plaintiff, CV F 04 5301 OWW WMW P

 SCOTT RAWERS, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The court has screened plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915A and finds that it appears to state cognizable claims for relief under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 against defendants Rawers, Korsjend, Ramirez and Wilson for retaliation. Plaintiff

alleges that defendants retaliated against him for filing an inmate grievance on December 19,

2002. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants:

WARDEN RAWERS
