UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARJON ROW,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL,

Defendant.

CIV S-05-1605 FCD PAN PS

ORDER

—NFN—

On February 13, 2006, the District Judge denied plaintiff’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis and accorded plaintiff thirty days within which to pay the filing fee

and file a proper complaint in lieu of the box of documents she submitted on August 12, 2005. 

On February 15, 2006, plaintiff paid the filing fee; on March 13, 2006, she filed a document

entitled “Claim for Relief;” and on March 15, 2006, plaintiff sent a CD to the Clerk’s office. 

Plaintiff’s “Claim for Relief” seeks punitive damages and loss of wages, and

summarily sets forth plaintiff’s legal allegations against each of five defendants (e.g., “Mike

Souwlen, Supervisor, Denied Reasonable Accomadations/Discrimination Twice. mental, and

physical disability (carpol tunnel)” [sic]. The CD, which the Clerk’s office properly declined to

 Also on March 13, 2006, plaintiff filed five completed USM-285 forms, which are irrelevant in light of 1

the court’s denial of plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis. Should plaintiff file a proper complaint, she

will be responsible for timely and properly serving process upon defendants pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4.

accept on the ground plaintiff’s documents must be filed in paper format (E. D. Cal. L. R. 5-

133(b)(2)), contained over 2800 pages organized in the following files: “(1) Files.pdfContaining 2,786 pages of various medical documents;” (2) “Right to Sue Letters.pdf-Containing

7 pages of Right to Sue Letters;” and (3) “State Personal Board Hearings.pdf-Containing 49

pages of various State Court documents.” 

Plaintiff has submitted no other relevant documents but telephoned this 1

court’s courtroom clerk to explain that her complaint consists of her “Claim for Relief” plus the

box of documents she submitted in August.

The court informed plaintiff on November 10, 2005 that her box of documents

could not constitute a complaint and that she should retrieve the documents in order to prepare a

proper complaint. Plaintiff has not done so. Plaintiff’s “Claim for Relief” does not meet the

requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a). The document does not set forth any facts giving rise to

plaintiff’s action. Nor does it set forth the grounds for this court’s jurisdiction. The “Claim”

fails properly to name and identify the defendants, providing no background information

regarding their alleged conduct or relationship to plaintiff.

For the foregoing reasons, PLAINTIFF’S “CLAIM FOR RELIEF” FILED

MARCH 13, 2006, IS DISMISSED. Plaintiff is again accorded the opportunity to file a

complaint that (1) sets forth the court’s jurisdiction, (2) recites chronologically all relevant facts

underlying plaintiff’s legal claims, (3) fully identifies each defendant, their relationship to

plaintiff, their specific alleged acts, and the legal claims against them, (4) clearly articulates each

of plaintiff’s legal claims, and (5) sets forth plaintiff’s claims for relief. This information shall be

set forth in a single document, typed or legibly written, entitled “Complaint,” and shall be filed

within twenty (20) days after service of this order. Failure timely to file an adequate complaint
