Date Filed Document Text
March 1, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ENDORSED ORDER. Gerhard Witte--a federal prisoner in Indiana--filed an Affidavit (Doc. #1) that includes vague claims of potential harm. The Court opened this case and entered a standing order to alert appropriate officials of Witte's claims. However, the Affidavit is not a complaint and thus cannot commence a civil action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 3. The Clerk therefore is DIRECTED to close this case. If Witte wants to commence an action, he should file a complaint in the federal court serving the county most closely connected to his allegations. Signed by Judge Sheri Polster Chappell on 3/1/2022. (NMC)
February 28, 2022 Filing 2 STANDING ORDER directing the Clerk to immediately email the state or federal official where this person is confined, a copy of this Order and the Complaint at Doc. 1 for whatever prompt action may be appropriate. Additionally, the Clerk is directed to confirm the official received the Court's email and do an entry on the docket stating the name of the official who received the Court's notice and when. Signed by all Fort Myers Judges on 2/28/2022. (KLM)
