March 21, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER: George Coleman, a prisoner at Hardeman County Correctional Facility in Whiteville, Tennessee, initiated this case by filing a pro se Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65. (Doc. Nos. #1 - #2 ). Section 1983 is typically used to "challenge the conditions of a prisoner's confinement."

The fee to file a Section 2254 habeas corpus petition is $5. The Clerk SHALL mail Coleman a blank (a) short-form in forma pauperis application for prisoners, (b) complaint for a civil case (Pro Se 1), and (c) petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2254. To be clear, Coleman should determine which form of action best suits his claims in this case and submit either a Complaint or a Section 2254 petition. Coleman's submissions MUST be received within 30 DAYS of the date this Order is entered on the docket. Until these concerns are addressed, this matter may not proceed. Thus, any request for emergency injunctive relief contained in the Motion (Doc. No. #1 ) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Signed by Chief Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw, Jr on 03/21/23. (xc:Pro se party by regular mail along with a blank (a) short-form in forma pauperis application for prisoners, (b) complaint for a civil case (Pro Se 1), and (c) petition for a writ of habeas corpus.)
