IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT E. POMBRIO,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-2577 WBS KJM P

vs.

S.M. SALINAS, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

On September 15, 2009, the Clerk of the Court opened this case after petitioner

filed a document that appeared to be an application for writ of habeas corpus and an application

to proceed in forma pauperis. Since then, petitioner has filed twenty-six other documents

including additional pleadings, motions, declarations and correspondence. The record is so

confusing that the court cannot tell what relief petitioner seeks, or whether petitioner is still in

accurately. Petitioner will be charged the filing fee for the type of action he proceeds on. 

Petitioner shall not file any further frivolous motions and shall not file any other pleadings in this

action without court permission in advance.

2. All motions filed by petitioner are denied.

4. Petitioner is granted thirty days within which to file an application for writ of

habeas corpus or a civil rights complaint on the appropriate form provided by the Clerk. The

court orders service of any amended pleading, shall not file any other pleadings in this action
