A: Here is some information to help you draft the key documents for filing a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. 1983, 1985, and 1986 in California with multiple defendants:

1. Complaint

- Identify yourself as the plaintiff and list all defendants

- State the basis of the court's jurisdiction (federal question under 28 U.S.C. 1331 for 1983/1985/1986 claims)

- Provide a concise statement of facts and allegations against each defendant

- Specify which of your constitutional or statutory rights you believe were violated

- Explain how each defendant acted under color of state law

- Request relief sought (damages, injunction, etc.)

2. Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) Request

- Explain the immediate, irreparable harm you will suffer without a TRO

- Show why the balance of equities and public interest favor granting a TRO

- Propose specific terms of the TRO you are requesting

3. Preliminary Injunction Request

- Demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits of your 1983/1985/1986 claims

- Explain the irreparable harm you will suffer without preliminary injunctive relief

- Show why legal remedies like money damages are inadequate

- Propose specific terms of the preliminary injunction you are requesting

4. Affidavit

- Provide sworn testimony supporting the allegations in your complaint

- Attach any relevant evidence as exhibits

5. Memorandum of Law

- Cite the relevant statutes, case law, and constitutional provisions

- Apply the law to the facts of your case and explain why you should prevail

- Focus especially on the elements of 1983, 1985, and/or 1986 claims

Some of the other motions and documents you listed may also be appropriate depending on the specifics of your case. Consult the local rules for the federal court where you are filing. Consider seeking assistance from a civil rights attorney given the complexity of suing multiple defendants. Be sure to serve all defendants and file proofs of service. Include a jury demand in your complaint if desired.
