IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AUSTIN GOLLIHAR,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-0433 LKK PAN P

vs.

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY JAIL,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner at San Joaquin County Jail, has filed a document styled

“letter,” seeking mental health care. No other pleadings have been filed by the plaintiff. In order

to commence an action, plaintiff must file a complaint as required by Rule 3 of the Federal Rules

of Civil Procedure, and plaintiff must either pay the $250.00 filing fee required for a civil rights

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

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

has been properly commenced. Therefore, plaintiff’s motion will be denied without prejudice. 

Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to file his complaint, and to submit an application

requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the appropriate filing fee.
