ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF
THE COURT TO ISSUE SUMMONS AND
NEW CASE DOCUMENTS

(Doc. 12)

Plaintiff Kathlene Veltcamp, proceeding pro se, sought review of a decision of the

18

Commissioner of Social Security denying her 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 May 4, 2017, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a claim. (Doc. 5).

21

Plaintiff was granted leave to file an amended complaint to remedy the deficiencies. Id. Plaintiff

22

subsequently filed a First Amended Complaint and a Second Amended Complaint. (Docs. 10 and

23

12).

24

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.
