| Prisoner Initial Partial Filing Fee received 05/25/2021, in the amount of $ 4.30; receipt number 34626012519. (SKN) |
TEXT ORDER entered by Judge James E. Shadid on 5/18/2021. Plaintiff, a pro se prisoner, has recently filed a complaint and he was provided with a Notice of Case Opening advising him the Court would review his claims within the next 30 to 45 days #2 . Plaintiff has now filed a letter with the clerk which has been filed as a motion #9 . Plaintiff asks for a "prisoner authorization," application for appointment of counsel, and sample language for a statement of facts #9 . Plaintiff has also filed a letter asking for a summons to serve his Defendants #10 . First, Plaintiff must not send letters, but must instead file motions stating specifically what relief he is requesting. This prevents confusion over the purpose of any filing. Second, Plaintiff must pay attention to the directions the Court has provided him. The Plaintiff was advised the Court would attempt to serve the Defendants after it had reviewed his complaint. In addition, Plaintiff was advised what information he needed to include in any motion for appointment of counsel. The Court does not provide forms concerning a request for counsel. Third, the Court does not have a form concerning language for a "statement of facts" and the Court is unsure what Plaintiff is referring to in terms of "prisoner authorization" #9 . Therefore, the Clerk of the Court is to provide Plaintiff with another copy of the Notice of Case Opening #2 . Plaintiff MUST review this document and follow the directions provided. Plaintiff's motions are denied #9 , #10 . (SAG)
