UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff William Burress is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), Plaintiff consented to the jurisdiction of 

the United States Magistrate Judge on May 6, 2016. Local Rule 302.

Plaintiff filed the instant complaint on April 27, 2016. However, Plaintiff did not sign the 

complaint under penalty of perjury. All filings submitted to the Court must bear the signature of the 

filing party. Local Rule 131; Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). Accordingly, Plaintiff’s complaint must be 

stricken from the record as deficient, and Plaintiff will be required to file an amended complaint with 

an original signature under penalty of perjury in order for the case to proceed.

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s complaint, filed on April 27, 2016, is stricken from the record for lack of 

signature;

2. The Clerk of Court is directed to send Plaintiff a blank civil rights complaint form;
