IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TONY MABRY,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-1581 WBS GGH P

vs.

ROBERT SANTOS,

Defendant. 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 on August 13, 2009, plaintiff's complaint was

dismissed with leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff has now filed an amended

complaint. Plaintiff also asks that his filings, signed on August 16, 2009, be disregarded, which

includes his declining the jurisdiction of the undersigned, because plaintiff had not yet received

the court’s order, filed on August 13, 2009, when he sent those documents. The court will grant

the motion disregarding both filings of that date, dated in this court as filed on August 19, 2009

(docket # 10 and # 11), and will provide plaintiff with another consent form; however, should

plaintiff fail to file the new consent/reassignment form within twenty-eight (28) days, the form

declining consent will be re-instated. 

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.
