II.
Screening Order Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, the court shall review "a complaint in a civil action in
which a prisoner seeks redress from a governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity." 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). "On review, the court shall identify cognizable claims or dismiss the complaint, or any portion of the complaint, if the complaint (1) is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted; or (2) seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief." Id. § 1915A(b). Pursuant to § 1915A, the court has reviewed plaintiff's amended complaint, which supercedes the original complaint. The court finds that, for the limited purposes of § 1915A screening, the amended complaint states cognizable Eighth Amendment claims for relief against all defendants (Shackford, Mihelich, Rainey, Kadevari1 and Purcell). III. Plaintiff's Motions On May 20, 2009, plaintiff filed a request that the court order Solano County officials to allow plaintiff to continue working on his legal affairs with another inmate who has been approved to assist plaintiff. Dckt. No. 5. Plaintiff's motion is denied, as there were no court imposed deadlines at the time of the filing and it is not evident why plaintiff needed the assistance of another inmate. Additionally, plaintiff requested that the court stay this action while he undergoes a "nerve graft surgery." Dckt. No. 6. Subsequently, plaintiff requested that the court lift any stay that had been imposed. Dckt. No. 9. It appears that plaintiff no longer seeks a stay. Thus, his motion will be denied as unnecessary. Accordingly, it hereby is ordered that: 1. Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. //// On October 16, 2009, plaintiff filed a "motion to correct spelling," indicating that this is the correct spelling of "Kadevari." Dckt. No. 13.

2. Plaintiff shall pay the statutory filing fee of $350. All payments shall be collected in accordance with the notice to the Solano County Sheriff's Office filed concurrently herewith. 3.

Upon receipt of the necessary materials, the court will direct the United States Marshal to serve defendants Shackford, Mihelich, Rainey, Kadevari and Purcell pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 without payment of costs.
