IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL STOFFER

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-3294 GGH P

vs.

PERRY RENIFF, SHERIFF,

BUTTE COUNTY,

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 December 17, 2009, plaintiff's complaint was

dismissed with leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff was granted an extension of time to

file an amended complaint by an order, filed on January 15, 2010, and has now filed an amended

complaint.

The amended complaint states a cognizable claim for relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). If the allegations of the amended complaint are proven,

plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of this action.
