Defendants.

Mr. Quintanilla, a prisoner at the Siskiyou County Jail, has submitted two letters to the

18

court complaining, in part, about conditions of confinement. If it is Mr. Quintanilla’s desire to

19

commence an action for violation of his civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, he must file a

20

complaint as required by Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and must either pay the

21

required filing fee or file an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis.1 See 28

22

U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). The court will not issue any orders granting or denying any relief

23

until an action has been properly commenced.2

If leave to proceed in informa pauperis is granted, Mr. Quintanilla will still be required to pay
the filing fee, but will be allowed to pay it in installments.

Mr. Quintanilla also asks that certain individuals in Siskiyou County be investigated for
malfeasance. It is not the court’s function to conduct criminal investigations.
