ORDER

On March 15, 2010, Plaintiff Darin Jones, who is confined in the Lemon Creek

Correctional Center in Juneau, Alaska, filed a pro se “Complaint Under Civil Rights Act [42

U.S.C. § 1983] (Prisoner)” (Doc. 1) in the United States District Court for the District of

Alaska, which was assigned the case number of CV 10-00054-TMB. By Order filed May

12, 2010 (Doc. 12), the Alaska District Court granted Plaintiff’s amended application to

waive prepayment of fees (Doc. 11), obligated Plaintiff to pay the $350.00 filing fee, and

assessed an initial partial filing fee. By Order filed May 28, 2010 (Doc. 13), the Alaska

District Court found that the Complaint, liberally construed, may state a cause of action for

failure to protect Plaintiff from harm, in violation of his civil rights. The Order also directed

service of the Complaint on the Defendant by the United States Marshal and required the

Defendant Corrections Corporation of America to file an answer to the Complaint. On

November 19, 2010, Defendant filed an Answer (Doc. 61) to the Complaint.
