KENNETH RAY FISHER,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-2469 DFL JFM PS

vs.

SACRAMENTO SHERIFF

DEPARTMENT, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 24, 2006, plaintiff was granted an additional thirty

days in which to file an amended complaint that complied with this court’s order of July 28,

2006. On November 27, 2006, plaintiff filed a one page general negligence cause of action form

used in state court. Plaintiff did not include a cover page clearly identifying the named

defendants. Plaintiff is advised that his cause of action is sufficient to state a claim against

defendant John Doe and arresting officer O’Connor. However, plaintiff must provide a complete

complaint before the court can order service of process.

Good cause appearing, the November 27, 2006 amended complaint will be

dismissed without prejudice and plaintiff will be granted an additional thirty days in which to

submit a complete complaint. The Clerk of the Court will be directed to provide plaintiff with
