UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY EUGENE BROOKS,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNKNOWN,

Defendant.

 /

CASE NO. 1:08-00464-LJO-SMS PC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO

SEND BROOKS A BIVENS COMPLAINT

FORM AND AN APPLICATION FOR LEAVE

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS BY A

PRISONER

ORDER DIRECTING BROOKS TO FILE

AMENDED COMPLAINT, AND EITHER PAY

FILING FEE IN FULL OR FILE

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS WITHIN THIRTY DAYS

On March 19, 2008, the Clerk’s Office for United States District Court of Virginia received

a letter from Anthony Eugene Brooks, an inmate currently housed at United State PenitentiaryAtwater, concerning his conditions of confinement. The district court opened a civil action for

Brooks and transferred it to this district. 

Upon review of the letter, the Court cannot discern for certain whether or not Brooks

intended to, or even desires to, file a civil action against prison personnel. The Court will direct the

Clerk’s Office to send Brooks a complaint form. If Brooks wishes to pursue a civil rights action

based on the violation of his federal rights, he should complete the form and return it to the Court

for filing. In addition, the filing fee for this action is $350.00. Along with the complaint, Brooks

should submit the filing fee in full or file an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. If

Brooks fails to comply with this order, this action will be dismissed, without prejudice.
