IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FREDERICK GATLIN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-2465 WBS GGH P

vs.

MR. NICHOLS, et al.,

Defendants.

 / ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 26, 2006, the court issued an order finding that the complaint

stated a colorable claim for relief against defendant Nichols. The court found that the claims

against defendant Cry did not state a colorable claim for relief and granted plaintiff thirty days to

file an amended complaint. Thirty days passed and plaintiff did not file an amended complaint.

Accordingly, the court now orders service of defendant Nichols and separately recommends

dismissal of defendant Cry.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendants: Nichols.

4. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff 1 USM-285 form, one summons, an

instruction sheet and a copy of the complaint filed November 7, 2006.
