IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN WILLIAMS, SR.,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-1167 LKK EFB P

vs.

SERGEANT NUCHOLS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel seeking relief for civil rights violations. See 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On June 21, 2007, the court adopted the findings and recommendations of the

magistrate judge and granted defendants’ motion to dismiss. Plaintiff has filed an appeal from

that order. 

Except under special circumstances not present here, an order which dismisses a

complaint without dismissing the action is not an appealable order. Williams v. Peters, 233 F.2d

618 (9th Cir. 1956). Since the order here in question dismissed only the complaint it is not

appealable; therefore plaintiff’s appeal is not taken in good faith. 

Dated: August 8, 2007.
