THE COURT TO ISSUE SUMMONS AND
NEW CASE DOCUMENTS

(Doc. 8)

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

18

Commissioner of Social Security denying his applications for supplemental social security

19

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

20

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

21

22

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

25

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

26

is now appropriate.
