SAN JOSE DIVISION

JEFFREY LAMONT TAYLOR,

Plaintiff(s),

 v.

SALINAS VALLEY STATE PRISON,

Defendant(s).

 /

NO. C 05-4112 JW 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On September 29, 2005, Plaintiff submitted a document to the Clerk’s Office which appears

to be a letter to Judge Henderson requesting that the Court conduct an investigation into conditions

at Salinas Valley State Prison. There are several exhibits attached to the letter, including copies of

complaints Plaintiff filed with the Department of Corrections and in the district court. The

documents were filed and treated as a new civil rights complaint. The Clerk of Court sent Plaintiff a

notice directing Plaintiff to either submit an in forma pauperis application, or alternatively, to pay

the filing fee within thirty days. Plaintiff submitted an in forma pauperis application on November

9, 2005.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1915A, the Court must now screen the complaint. Plaintiff’s

request for an investigation is simply not cognizable as claim under 42 U.S.C. section 1983. 

Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED with prejudice. The clerk shall terminate any pending

motions.
