ORDER
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 9, 2009, the court found that plaintiff had failed to file a pretrial statement and recommended that this action be dismissed. On the same day, plaintiff filed a document describing various difficulties with the prison mailroom. He requested both an injunction and leave to amend his complaint to add a claim regarding the same. The deadline for filing pretrial motions has long-since passed, see Sept. 17, 2007 Order, and plaintiff is not specific as to the injunctive relief he seeks. However, plaintiff also requested leave to file a new pretrial statement. Pl.'s Feb. 9, 2009 Mot., Decl. of Pl. in Supp. Thereof ¶ 4.
