Turner v. Yolo County Sheriff Dep't
ANTHONY RECARDO G. TURNER, PLAINTIFF,v.YOLO COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT., ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se.*fn1 Plaintiff has filed an action styled as a petition for writ of mandamus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1651 and has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, the request to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted.
Plaintiff is required to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(b)(1). By this order, plaintiff will be assessed an initial partial filing fee in accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). By separate order, the court will direct the appropriate agency to collect the initial partial filing fee from plaintiff's trust account and forward it to the Clerk of the Court. Thereafter, plaintiff will be obligated for monthly payments of twenty percent of the preceding month's income credited to plaintiff's prison trust account. These payments will be forwarded by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of the Court each time the amount in plaintiff's account exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). Review of plaintiff's original pleading shows that plaintiff is challenging conditions of his confinement at the Yolo County Jail.*fn2 Accordingly, this action is construed as a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Good cause appearing, plaintiff's original pleading will be dismissed and plaintiff will be granted thirty days to file an amended complaint on the court's form for a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
If plaintiff chooses to amend the complaint, plaintiff must demonstrate how the conditions complained of have resulted in a deprivation of plaintiff's constitutional rights. See Ellis v. Cassidy, 625 F.2d 227 (9th Cir. 1980). Also, the complaint must allege in specific terms how each named defendant is involved. There can be no liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 unless there is some affirmative link or connection between a defendant's actions and the claimed deprivation. Rizzo v. Goode, 423 U.S. 362 (1976); May v. Enomoto, 633 F.2d 164, 167 (9th Cir. 1980); Johnson v. Duffy, 588 F.2d 740, 743 (9th Cir. 1978). Furthermore, vague and conclusory allegations of official participation in civil rights violations are not sufficient. Ivey v. Board of Regents, 673 F.2d 266, 268 (9th Cir. 1982).*fn3
Plaintiff's amended complaint shall comply with the requirements of the Civil Rights Act, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Local Rules of Practice; the amended complaint must be prepared on the form provided with this order and must bear the docket number assigned this case and must be labeled "Amended Complaint"; failure to file an amended complaint in accordance with this order may result in the dismissal of this action.
5. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff the court's form complaint for a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and accompanying instructions.
