IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANCISCO GAVALDON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0354 MCE GGH P

vs.

TULARE COUNTY JAIL, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed June 15, 2005, plaintiff's complaint was

dismissed with leave to file an amended complaint. The complaint had been transferred from

the Fresno division because the Tulare County defendants had been dismissed and most of the

remaining claims implicated conduct occurring at Mule Creek State Prison. The undersigned

dismissed the complaint so that plaintiff could set forth only those claims against Mule Creek

State Prison defendants, since it is the law of the case that the Tulare County defendants have

been dismissed. The court also suggested that plaintiff file a separate action as to any defendant

located at California Men’s Colony in the Central District. Plaintiff, however, did not respond to

the court’s order, so the court has now screened the March 15, 2004 complaint.

and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). If the allegations of the complaint are proven, plaintiff has a

b. One completed summons;

c. One completed USM-285 form for each defendant listed in number 1

above; and 

d. Five (5) copies of the endorsed complaint filed March 15, 2004. 

4. Plaintiff need not attempt service on defendants and need not request waiver of

service. Upon receipt of the above-described documents, the court will direct the United States

Marshal to serve the above-named defendants pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4

without payment of costs.
