Date Filed Document Text
April 17, 2026 Filing 3 NOTICE filed by Dedrick D. Jones. (Attachments: #1 Mailing Envelope)(JVC)
April 16, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 2 ENDORSED ORDER. Plaintiff, Dedrick D. Jones, an inmate of the Florida penal system, filed a pro se #1 document titled, "Affidavit," in which he asserts that an officer used excessive force against him on April 3, 2026. Jones's filing is not a proper complaint, does not include all of the information required by the court-approved civil rights complaint form, and cannot commence a civil action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 3 ("A civil action is commenced by filing a complaint with the court."); see also M.D. Fla. R. 6.04(a) ("A pro se person in custody must use the standard form[.]"). Accordingly, the Clerk of Court shall close this case and send Jones a civil rights complaint form. If Jones chooses to refile his claims, he may do so on the provided form. Signed by Judge Marcia Morales Howard on 4/16/2026. (KLC)
April 9, 2026 Filing 1 COMPLAINT against Blitch titled "Affidavit" filed by Dedrick D. Jones. (No IFP, no service copy) (BD)
