FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID ALEXANDER HODGES, No. 07-cv-00615 OWW TAG

Plaintiff, ORDER FINDING THAT 

v. SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 

STATES A COGNIZABLE CLAIM

(Doc. 7)

HOLIDAY INN SELECT,

ORDER FOR SERVICE OF COMPLAINT

Defendant.

______________________________/

Plaintiff David Alexander Hodges (“Plaintiff”), is a non-prisoner proceeding

pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action, 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Docs. 1, 3).

This Court found deficiencies in Plaintiff’s initial and first amended complaints, and

ordered Plaintiff to file a second amended complaint. (Docs. 4, 5, 6). Plaintiff timely

filed his second amended complaint on July 3, 2007. (Doc. 7). The Court has screened

Plaintiff’s second amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915e(2)(B), and finds

that it appears to state a cognizable claim for relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against

defendant Holiday Inn Select for illegal seizure, in violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for defendant HOLIDAY INN SELECT.

2. The Clerk of the Court shall send Plaintiff one (1) USM-285 form, one (1)

summons, a Notice of Submission of Documents form, an instruction sheet,

and a copy of the second amended complaint filed July 3, 2007.

court will direct the United States Marshal to serve the above-named

defendant pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 without payment

of costs. 

 5. The failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation

that this action be dismissed.
