IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HENRY C. HAYES,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0147 MCE GGH P 

vs.

ROD HICKMAN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983 and has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 72-302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1).

Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, the request to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted. 

Plaintiff is required to pay the statutory filing fee of $150.00 for this action. 28

U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(b)(1). An initial partial filing fee of $60 will be assessed by this order. 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). By separate order, the court will direct the appropriate agency to collect

the initial partial filing fee from plaintiff’s trust account and forward it to the Clerk of the Court.

Thereafter, plaintiff will be obligated for monthly payments of twenty percent of the preceding

month’s income credited to plaintiff’s prison trust account. These payments will be forwarded

by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of the Court each time the amount in plaintiff’s account

exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

On January 24, 2005, plaintiff filed the original complaint. On April 20, 2005,

plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The court will screen the amended complaint because it

supersedes the original complaint. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15.

The only named defendant in the amended complaint is Dr. Cummins. It appears

that plaintiff intends for the amended complaint to supplement the claims contained in the

original complaint. A complaint must contain all claims against all defendants. Local Rule 15-

220. Because plaintiff’s amended complaint does not appear to contain all claims against all

defendants, it is dismissed with leave to amend.

On April 20, 2005, plaintiff filed a document titled “notice of motion of

defendants to hinder litigation and due process of plaintiff.” In this motion, plaintiff complains

about a variety of prison conditions including inadequate medical care and inadequate law library

access. Because plaintiff has not filed a colorable complaint, the court will not consider

plaintiff’s motion for injunctive relief. Once plaintiff files a complaint deemed colorable by the

court, he may re-file his motion.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted.

2. Plaintiff is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $150.00 for this action. 

Plaintiff is assessed an initial partial filing fee of $60. All fees shall be collected and paid in

accordance with this court’s order to the Director of the California Department of Corrections

filed concurrently herewith.

3. Plaintiff’s amended complaint filed April 20, 2005, is dismissed with thirty

days to file a second amended complaint; failure to comply with this order will result in a

recommendation of dismissal of this action;

4. Plaintiff’s April 20, 2005, “motion of defendants to hinder the litigation

process” is denied.
