§ 1915(b)(1) and (2). 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). The court finds that, for the limited purposes of § 1915A screening, the complaint states a cognizable claim for relief against defendant. Accordingly, it hereby is ordered that: 1. Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. 2. Plaintiff shall pay the statutory filing fee of $350. All payments shall be collected in accordance with the notice to the Director of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation filed concurrently herewith. 3. Service is appropriate for defendant Aramark. 4. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff one USM-285 forms, one summons, an instruction sheet and one copy of the December 17, 2009 complaint. 5. Within 30 days from service of this order, plaintiff shall complete the attached Notice of Submission of Documents and submit it to the court with the completed summons and USM285 form and 2 copies of the endorsed December 17, 2009 complaint. 6. Upon receipt of the necessary materials, the court will direct the United States Marshal to serve defendants Aramark pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 without payment of costs. Failure to comply with this order will result in this action being dismissed. Dated: August 26, 2010.
