Pending before the court is plaintiff's amended complaint (Doc. 17). The court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief against a governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). In his complaint, Plaintiff claims defendant Saro violated his rights under the Fourth and Eighth Amendments by subjecting him to a strip search for the purpose of harassing Plaintiff. The District Judge has found the amended complaint appears to state a cognizable claim for relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). If the allegations are proven, plaintiff has a reasonable opportunity to prevail on the merits of this action. The court, 1 vs. DANIEL P.
