UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CONNOR ALBERT DAVIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION,

Defendant.

No. 2:14-cv-2182 DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a county jail inmate at the Yuba County Jail, has filed a letter with the court 

which, while vague, appears to complain about purported civil rights violations by the California 

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Plaintiff has not filed any other pleadings with the 

court. 

In order to commence a civil rights action, plaintiff must file a complaint as required by 

Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and plaintiff must either pay the required filing 

fee or file an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis.1 See 28 U.S.C. §§ 

1914(a), 1915(a). The court will not issue any orders granting or denying relief until an action 

has been properly commenced. Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to file his complaint, 

 

1

If leave to file in forma pauperis is granted, plaintiff will still be required to pay the filing fee 

but will be allowed to pay it in installments.

and to submit an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the 

appropriate filing fee. 

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of service of this order to file a complaint 

that complies with the requirements of the Civil Rights Act, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 

and the Local Rules of Practice; the complaint must bear the docket number assigned this case. 

Plaintiff shall also submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, the application to 

proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court, or the filing fee in the 

amount of $400.00.2 Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation 

that this matter be dismissed; and

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff the court’s form for filing a civil 

rights action, and the application to proceed in forma pauperis by a prisoner.

administrative fee.
