IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THURMAN SPENCER,

Plaintiff, CV F 06 0291 AWI WMW P

A. K. SCRIBNER,

Defendant.

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on

August 11, 2003. 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 Lewis, Austin, and Biggs for failing to protect him, in violation of the Eighth

Amendment. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants:

A. K. SCRIBNER

2. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff one USM-285 forms, one summons, a

Notice of Submission of Documents form, an instruction sheet and a copy of the

the court with the following documents:

a. Completed summons;

b. One completed USM-285 form for defendant listed above; and 

c. Two copies of the endorsed complaint filed December 15, 2005. 

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. 

5. The failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this

action be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
