IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SALVADOR GONZALEZ, No. CIV S-08-0173-MCE-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

Unknown,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, is apparently attempting to bring a

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Specifically, on January 24, 2008, plaintiff filed

a document seeking “an extension of time for a 1983 writ I am filing.” Plaintiff, who is currently

housed at Centinela State Prison in Imperial, California, states that “an incident” occurred in

January 2007 while he was housed at High Desert State Prison in Susanville, California. He also

states that, since that incident, he has been denied access to the law library and that this was in

retaliation for his having filed inmate grievances. It is not clear whether the alleged retaliation

and denial of access to the courts occurred at Centinela State Prison or High Desert State Prison. 

Plaintiff will be required to submit a civil rights complaint on the form provided by the court

which describes his claims in more detail.
