UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID LAWRENCE MILLER,

Plaintiff,

 vs.

Dr. BANKS, CDCR-SQSP; Dr. WONG,

CDCR-SQSP; SRN GULLUM, CDCRSQSP; and the CALIFORNIA

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-4544 PJH (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITH

LEAVE TO AMEND

Plaintiff, a prisoner at the California Correctional Center in Susanville, has filed a pro

se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He has been granted leave to proceed in

forma pauperis. Because the complaint partly involves events which occurred at San

Quentin State Prison, which is in this district, venue is proper here. See 28 U.S.C. §

1391(b).

The complaint includes only the first page of the court’s form for prisoner complaints;

the remainder consists of notebooks paper pages providing a narrative of events. As a

result, the complaint does not include information which would be useful to the court. For

instance, it is not really clear whether plaintiff intended to name the California Department

of Corrections as a separate defendant or was just identifying the employer of the other

defendants. The complaint therefore is DISMISSED with leave to amend on the form within

thirty days of the date of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 8, 2008. 

 PHYLLIS J. HAMILTON

United States District Judge
