RICHARD JACKSON,PLAINTIFF,v.L. VALENZUELA; D. CAMARGO;R. MADDEN,DEFENDANT.
CDCR #J-25801,
Richard Jackson ("Plaintiff"), a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Centinela State Prison located in Imperial, California, and proceeding pro se, has submitted a civil rights Complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. In addition, Plaintiff has filed a Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis ("IFP") pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) [ECF No. 2].
The Court finds that Plaintiff has submitted an affidavit which complies with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), and that he has attached a certified copy of his trust account statement pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and S.D. CAL. CIVLR 3.2. Plaintiff's trust account statement indicates that he has insufficient funds from which to pay filing fees at this time.

As currently pleaded, the Court finds that Plaintiff's Complaint fails to state a cognizable claim under 42 U.S.C. &sect; 1983. Section 1983 imposes two essential proof requirements upon a claimant: (1) that a person acting under color of state law committed the conduct at issue, and (2) that the conduct deprived the claimant of some right, privilege, or immunity protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. See 42 U.S.C. &sect; 1983; Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527, 535 (1981), overruled on ...
