IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAIME F. GUZMAN,

Plaintiff, 

 v.

COUNTY OF SAN MATEO and

CITY OF EAST PALO ALTO

POLICE DEPARTMENT,

Defendant. /

No. C 07-6294 WHA (PR) 

DISMISSAL WITH LEAVE TO

AMEND

This case was opened when plaintiff wrote a letter to the court which he characterized as

his “official filing of a federal civil law suit[]” against the above defendants. He has been

granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

The letter does not contain the information required by the court’s form for Section 1983

lawsuits by prisoners and does not provide the information necessary to allow the Court to

conduct the initial screening required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The letter, treated as a

complaint, therefore is DISMISSED with leave to amend to file an amended complaint on the

court’s form. The clerk shall send plaintiff the court’s form packet for prisoner Section 1983

suits with his copy of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 2, 2008 . WILLIAM ALSUP
