CLIFFORD P. TURNER, Plaintiff, v. US MARSHALS OFFICE, Defendant.
ORDER
WILLIAM F. JUNG UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Plaintiff Clifford P. Turner's motion (Doc. 1) and amended motion (Doc. 4) to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff, a Texas prisoner proceeding pro se, explains that motions relate to litigation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. 2241, respectively. However, Petitioner did not file a complaint or petition.
Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that “[a] civil action is commenced by filing a complaint with the court.” Because no pleading (e.g., civil rights complaint or habeas petition) has been filed, it is ORDERED that:
1. This case is DISMISSED without prejudice.
2. The Clerk must:
a. Mail to Plaintiff a Section 2241 habeas form, a prisoner civil rights complaint form, and a prisoner affidavit of indigency;
b. Terminate any pending motions;
c. Enter judgment accordingly; and
d. CLOSE this case.
DONE and ORDERED
