Defendant.

Plaintiff, Anthony Silva, is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in
17
this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 5, 2018, an order issued
18
granting Plaintiff’s motion and filing the First Amended Complaint. (Docs. 42, 43.) On October
19
1, 2018, Defendants filed a request for screening of the First Amended Complaint. (Doc. 44.)
20
The Court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief against a
21
governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). A
22
complaint or portion thereof that raises claims that are legally frivolous, malicious, fail to state a
23
claim upon which relief may be granted, or that seek monetary relief from a defendant who is
24
immune from such relief must be dismissed. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1),(2); 28 U.S.C. §
25
1915(e)(2)(B)(i)-(iii).
26
To state a claim under § 1983, a plaintiff must allege two essential elements: (1) that a
27
right secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States was violated and (2) that the alleged
28
violation was committed by a person acting under the color of state law. See West v. Atkins, 487
1
1
U.S. 42, 48 (1988); Ketchum v. Alameda Cnty., 811 F.2d 1243, 1245 (9th Cir. 1987). The First
2
Amended Complaint has been placed in line for screening.
Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s motion, filed on October 1,

4
2018, (Doc. 44), for screening of Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint is GRANTED.
