Date Filed Document Text
November 14, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER: The court has received the plaintiff's letter regarding his inability to obtain a certified inmate account statement from the custodian of his account. (Doc. No. #13 ). The court finds that the plaintiff has satisfied the deficiency, and he does not need to submit anything further with regard to his pauper application. Accordingly, the Clerk is DIRECTED to mail the plaintiff a blank form Section 1983 complaint for prisoners. In turn, the plaintiff is DIRECTED to submit a single complaint containing all of his claims and defendants. Finally, the plaintiff filed a motion for a speedy trial in this action (Doc. No. #5 ) but the caption of the motion reads "State of Tennessee v. Trenton Bell." This court has no jurisdiction over the plaintiff's ongoing state criminal proceedings and, as such, cannot grant his motion for a speedy trial. The motion is therefore DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to be filed in the appropriate court. Signed by District Judge Aleta A. Trauger on 11/14/2018. (xc:Pro se party by regular mail along with a blank Section 1983 Complaint for prisoners.)
