IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES E. VALLEY, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0310 MCE KJM P

vs.

JEANNE WOODFORD, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil

rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On December 13, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend his complaint. 

Plaintiff’s motion was not, however, accompanied by a proposed amended complaint. Plaintiff

did file a “declaration,” purporting to contain the substance of his new allegations, but it is not in

the form of a complaint. As a litigant proceeding in forma pauperis, plaintiff’s pleadings are

subject to evaluation by this court based on the in forma pauperis statute. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915. 

Because plaintiff did not submit a proposed amended complaint in a form that lends itself to

evaluation, the court is unable to evaluate it. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend must therefore

be denied without prejudice.
