UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBEY KURT HAIRSTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

C. L. PHILLIPS,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-0581 KJM CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner at California Correctional Institution, has filed documents that 

fail to communicate what claims plaintiff wishes to assert or what relief he is seeking. No other 

pleadings have been filed by the plaintiff. 

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

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and plaintiff must either pay the required filing fee or file an 

application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis.1 See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). 

The court will not issue any orders granting or denying relief until an action has been properly 

commenced. Therefore, plaintiff’s motion will be denied without prejudice. Plaintiff will be 

provided the opportunity to file his complaint, and to submit an application requesting leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the appropriate filing fee. 

 

1

If leave to file in in forma pauperis is granted, plaintiff will still be required to pay the filing fee 

but will be allowed to pay it in installments.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s March 13, 2015 filing will be disregarded; and

2. Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of service of this order to file a complaint 

that complies with the requirements of the Civil Rights Act, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 

and the Local Rules of Practice; the complaint must bear the docket number assigned this case; 

plaintiff must file an original and two copies of the complaint. Plaintiff shall also submit, within 

thirty days from the date of this order, the application to proceed in forma pauperis on the form 

provided by the Clerk of Court, or the filing fee in the amount of $400.00. Plaintiff’s failure to 

comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this matter be dismissed; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff the court’s form for filing a civil 

rights action, and the application to proceed in forma pauperis by a prisoner.
