CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON, Plaintiff, v. SERGEANT DANCE, et al., Defendant(s).
ORDER AND RECOMMENDATION
OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff, a prisoner of the State of North Carolina, has submitted a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis. The form of the Complaint is such that it is impossible to further process this complaint. The problem is:
1. None of the defendants are located within this District, but are located in the Eastern District of North Carolina. Plaintiff should seek the proper forms from the Clerk of that district and file the complaint there. The proper address is: 310 New Bern Avenue, Room 574, Raleigh, NC 27601.
Consequently, the Complaint should be dismissed, but without prejudice to Plaintiff filing a new complaint, on the proper § 1983 forms, and in the correct district. In forma pauperis status is granted for the sole purpose of entering this Order and Recommendation.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that in forma pauperis status is granted for the sole purpose of entering this Order and Recommendation.
IT IS RECOMMENDED that this action be filed and dismissed sua sponte without prejudice to Plaintiff filing a new complaint, on the proper § 1983 forms, and in the correct district.
