UNKNOWN,

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-1400 CKD P

Plaintiff, a state prisoner at Mule Creek State Prison, has filed a letter seeking courtordered medical treatment for Hepatitis C and a job-related injury. 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 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, 

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

appropriate filing fee.

but will be allowed to pay it in installments.
