Matthew Houston, Plaintiff v. Jerry Howell, et al. Defendants
ORDER DENYING MOTIONS IN CLOSED CASE
[ECF NOS. 27, 28]
This civil-rights action was dismissed and closed in June 2020 when pro se plaintiff Matthew Houston failed to timely file an amended complaint. Nearly two years later, Houston filed an emergency motion seeking a free copy of everything that was filed in this action. And two months after that, Houston filed an emergency motion seeking to set aside the dismissal order. But Houston does not offer a valid reason why I should reopen this case, set aside the dismissal order, or provide him a free copy of everything that was filed.
ECF Nos. 25, 26.
ECF No. 27.
ECF No. 28.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the emergency motions (ECF Nos. 27, 28) are DENIED. Houston is cautioned that he should not file documents in this closed case. If Houston wishes to pursue his claims, he must file a new action and either pay the full $402 filing fee or properly apply to proceed in forma pauperis.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to SEND a copy of this order to Matthew Houston at the address listed with the court and to the attention of Matthew Houston, #1210652 at High Desert State Prison.
