ORDER

UNKNOWN,

15

Defendant.

16
Plaintiff, a state prisoner at California Health Care Facility, has filed a letter seeking an

17
18

emergency injunction. No other pleadings have been filed by the plaintiff. In order to commence

19

an action, plaintiff must file a complaint as required by Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Civil

20

Procedure, and plaintiff must either pay the required filing fee or file an application requesting

21

leave to proceed in forma pauperis.1 See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). The court will not issue

22

any orders granting or denying relief until an action has been properly commenced. Therefore,

23

plaintiff’s request will be denied without prejudice. Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to

24

file his complaint, and to submit an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis or

25

to submit the appropriate filing fee.

provided by the Clerk of Court, or the filing fee in the amount of $400.00.2 Plaintiff’s failure to
