IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTONY C. STITH,

Plaintiff, CV F 05 0023 AWI WMW P

vs. ORDER 

HARRELL WATTS, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff Antony C. Stith is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this

civil rights action pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Plaintiff

filed this action on January 5, 2005. The court has screened plaintiff’s May 10, 2005 first

amended 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 Watts, Gunja, Schultz and Gonzalez

for deliberate indifference, in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Accordingly, it is HEREBY

ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants:

HARRELL WATTS

JOSEPH GUNJA

PAUL M. SCHULTZ
