20 Plaintiff, a state prisoner, alleges that defendants violated his due process rights during a disciplinary hearing and his Eighth Amendment rights by denying him adequate medical care. Plaintiff’s complaint does not comply with federal pleading standards, however, and cannot proceed. I will give him leave to amend. Additionally, I will grant plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis.
