Description

SANDSTROM, Justice. Edward Ennis's glasses are broken. He is an inmate at the State Penitentiary and wants the State to buy him a new pair. Seeking
new glasses, Ennis brought a civil rights action on behalf of himself and "all others similarly situated." He sued the director
of corrections, the warden, the medical director, a medical records clerk and "other unknown parties." Under Rule 12(b), N.D.R.Civ.P.,
the district court, on its own motion, dismissed Ennis's suit with prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief
can be granted. Although Ennis may not sue on behalf of others, nor proceed against the unnamed "others," we conclude he has
stated a claim for which relief can be granted. We, therefore, affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.
