IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY LEE VOGELSANG,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-1671 FCD DAD P

vs.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT

OF CORRECTIONS AND

REHABILITATION, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

On August 22, 2006, the undersigned recommended that this habeas action be

dismissed without prejudice because it plainly appears from the face of the petition that petitioner

is not entitled to federal habeas corpus relief. The Clerk was directed

to provide petitioner with a civil rights complaint form and the in

forma pauperis application form to be submitted with such a

complaint. If petitioner chooses to file a civil rights complaint, his

complaint and in forma pauperis application must be submitted for

filing as a new action. The case number assigned to this habeas

case should not be included on the civil rights complaint, as a new

case must be opened and a new case number will be assigned.

(Order & Findings & Recommendations filed Aug. 22, 2006, at 2.)

Petitioner has submitted an incomplete in forma pauperis application form

together with multiple copies of a partially completed civil rights complaint form under a cover

sheet on which petitioner describes himself as “plaintiff/petitioner” and refers to the “California

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation et al.” as “defendant/respondent.” Attached to the

partially completed complaints are copies of the litigant letter sent to petitioner in this habeas

case on July 31, 2006, and the order and findings and recommendations filed on August 22,

2006. The Clerk has filed petitioner’s documents in this habeas case.

Due to the incompleteness of petitioner’s documents, the undersigned will not

direct the Clerk to remove the documents from this case and open a new case. If it is petitioner’s

intention to file a civil rights action, he should submit a properly completed civil rights complaint

form without a cover sheet. Petitioner should refrain from attaching copies of any document that

bears the case number of this habeas case. Petitioner is advised that it is important to name

specific defendants on the second page of the civil rights complaint form and to allege facts

linking each named defendant to the claimed constitutional violations. Petitioner is further

advised that it is important to comply with institutional procedures for obtaining a properly

certified in forma pauperis application supported by a certified trust account statement.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s August 31, 2006 application to proceed in forma pauperis is

denied; and

2. Petitioner’s August 31, 2006 complaint will be disregarded.

DATED: September 8, 2006.
