UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On March 1, 2013, Plaintiff Robert Austin Johnson (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding 

pro se, sent a letter to the Northern District of California. (ECF No. 1.) The letter concerns the 

medical care he received at Sierra Conservation Center in Jamestown, California. The Clerk’s Office 

opened a civil action. On April 5, 2013, Plaintiff filed supplemental information and briefing in 

support of his letter. (ECF No. 6.) 

By order filed May 2, 2013, the action was transferred to this Court because the action 

concerns events that occurred in this judicial district. (ECF No. 8.) The Court has reviewed the letter 

and supplement, but declines to construe them as a complaint given that they do not meet the 

requirements set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 7(a), 8(a), 10(a) and 

(b), 15(a).

The Clerk’s Office will be directed to send Plaintiff a civil rights complaint form. Plaintiff

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk’s Office shall send Plaintiff a civil rights complaint form;

2. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall file a 

complaint; and

3. The failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be 

dismissed for failure to obey a court order.
