FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HOWARD LAROYCE LEONARD, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-2236 MCE GGH P

vs.

AMARO, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner at California State Prison Sacramento, has filed a

document which appears to be an Inmate/Parolee Appeal Form. No other pleadings have been

filed by the plaintiff. In order to commence an action, plaintiff must file a complaint as required

by Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and plaintiff must either pay the required

filing fee or file an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. 1

§§ 1914(a), 1915(a). The court will not issue any orders granting or denying relief until an action

has been properly commenced. Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to file his complaint,

and to submit an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the

appropriate filing fee.
