UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RODNEY WOMACK,

Plaintiff,

v.

WARDEN PERRY,

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-1858 DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a defective motion for preliminary 

injunctive relief in which he seeks a court order prohibiting High Desert State Prison Warden 

Perry from denying Muslims their right to practice their religion. See Local Rule 231(d). 

Plaintiff has also submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 

1914(a), 1915(a). 

In order to commence an action, plaintiff must file a complaint as required by Rule 3 of 

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The court will not issue any orders granting or denying 

relief until an action has been properly commenced. Therefore, plaintiff’s motion for preliminary 

injunctive relief will be denied without prejudice. The court will provide plaintiff with an

opportunity to file his complaint.
