UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GARY FISHER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

UNKNOWN, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:14-cv-1925 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. The instant action was transferred to this district from the Northern District of 

California on August 19, 2014. ECF No. 13. In its Order of Transfer, District Judge Orrick 

construed petitioner’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition as a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 

1983 because plaintiff “raises civil rights claims against the Office of Appeals of the C.D.C.R. in 

Sacramento or against the appeals coordinators at Sacramento State Prison.” ECF No. 12. 

Accordingly, the instant action was opened in this district as a civil rights complaint pursuant to 

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

U.S.C. § 1915. ECF No. 10. Plaintiff has not, however, filed his application for leave to proceed 

in forma pauperis on the form used by this district. Accordingly, plaintiff’s application will be 

dismissed and plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit the application on the 

appropriate form. Plaintiff is cautioned that he must also provide a certified copy of his prison
