U.S.C. § 1983. In his complaint, plaintiff alleges violations of his civil rights by defendants. The

Pursuant to Local Rule 120(f), a civil action which has not been commenced in the proper

1996 amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, this court will not rule on plaintiff’s request to proceed in

25

forma pauperis.
