UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICKY COLMENERO,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

1:16-cv-649-GSA

ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF 

THE COURT TO ISSUE SUMMONS AND 

NEW CASE DOCUMENTS

(Doc. 8)

Plaintiff Ricky Colmenero, proceeding pro se, sought review of a decision of the 

Commissioner of Social Security denying his applications for supplemental social security 

income and disability insurance benefits under the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 301 et seq.). 

On September 1, 2015, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a claim. (Doc. 

6). Plaintiff was granted leave to file an amended complaint to remedy the deficiencies. Id. 

Plaintiff subsequently filed a First Amended Complaint and a Second Amended Complaint. 

(Docs. 8 and 11). 

The Court has screened the Second Amended Complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), and 

finds Plaintiff has set forth a cognizable claim. Service of the complaint upon the Commissioner 

is now appropriate.
