MEMORANDUM ORDER


This Court's November 28, 2001 memorandum opinion and order ("Opinion") set out two obvious problems posed by the newly-tendered 42 U.S.C. § 1983 Complaint sought to be filed by Bryan Keith ("Keith") — problems stemming from (1) Keith's failure to demonstrate his compliance with Section 1997e(a), which establishes the precondition that Keith must first have exhausted his administrative remedies, and (2) the apparent untimeliness of his putative new action. Despite the clear directives contained in the Opinion, Keith has failed to file any timely submission bearing upon whether he had taken appropriate action to satisfy Section 1997e(a), nor has he timely provided the requested information that could support his having presented his current tiling within the applicable two-year limitations period.

All further references to Title 28's provisions will simply take the form "Section —."

Accordingly, as stated in the Opinion, this action is dismissed because of Keith's failure to establish compliance with Section 1997e (a). It is therefore unnecessary to resolve the question of timeliness (though that problem could independently doom this action as well). This dismissal moots Keith's "Motion for In Forma Pauperis."
