January 26, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER: Plaintiff commenced this action by filing a document titled "Affidavit COVID-19 Complaint and Demand to Show Cause." (See Doc. #1 filed as "Complaint"). The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that "[a] civil action is commenced by filing a complaint with the court." Fed. R. Civ. P. 3. In other words, "the first step in the action is the filing of the complaint." Id., Advisory Committee Notes, 1937 Adoption. No complaint has been filed in this case, and the instant filing cannot be considered an adequate complaint. The document is a demand letter to FCI-Greenville Staff, Warden Williams, Associate Warden Cheeks, Associate Warden Santiago, Captain Gore, and Lieutenant Phillips directing them to rebut the allegations in the affidavit regarding COVID-19 procedures in 30 days or pay Plaintiff $10,000 per day. Plaintiff has also not paid his filing fee or filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. At this point, it is not clear whether he intended to file a civil lawsuit. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, should he wish to further pursue this action, Plaintiff shall file a signed complaint on or before February 23, 2022. Alternatively, if Plaintiff did not intend to initiate a civil action, he shall file his notice of voluntary dismissal with the Court by this same deadline. If Plaintiff timely files a notice of voluntary dismissal, no filing fee shall be assessed. Failure to respond to this order by the prescribed deadline will result in the dismissal of this action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), and Plaintiff will remain obligated to pay the filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(1); Lucien v. Jockisch, 133 F.3d 464, 467 (7th Cir. 1998). The Clerk of Court is further DIRECTED to send Plaintiff a copy of this Order, along with a Pro Se Civil Rights Complaint form and the Instructions for Filing a Pro Se Civil Complaint for Civil Rights Violations or Other Civil Claims Filed by a Person in Custody. Finally, for the sake of clarity, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to STRIKE Doc. #1 "Complaint" and REFILE the document as "Affidavit and Demand Show Cause." Signed by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn on 1/26/2022. (jrj)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.

January 24, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 2 NOTICE AND ORDER: The Court has received your Complaint. Your case number is 22-148-SPM. Within 30 days of the entry of this Order, you are ORDERED to submit the $402.00 filing fee or a motion to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee. If you file a motion to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee, the Court must review your trust fund account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of this action. Thus, you must have the Trust Fund Officer at your facility complete the attached certification and provide a copy of your trust fund account statement (or institutional equivalent). If you fail to pay the filing fee or submit the motion to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee by the deadline, the case will be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b); Sperow v. Melvin, 153 F.3d 780, 781 (7th Cir. 1998). All mail should be sent to: Clerk's Office, U.S. District Court, 750 Missouri Avenue, East St. Louis, IL 62201. Finally, you are advised that if your address changes, you must notify the Court within seven days of the change by filing a Notice of Change of Address. Failure to do so could result in the dismissal of your case. Signed by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn on 1/24/2022. (kare)
