Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel prosecuting this civil rights action in forma

pauperis. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983; 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). This proceeding was referred to this court

by Local Rule 72-302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 

 The court has reviewed plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. The court is

court does not employ an interpreter for translating complaints and other documents submitted to

amended complaint in English. To state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff must allege an

identified defendant deprived plaintiff of a right secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the
