SUSAN HUBBARD, et al.,

Plaintiff Tracy Taylor is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil

16

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on March 8, 2010. An order

17

issued on November 15, 2011, finding the first amended complaint stated claims against Defendants

18

Harrington and Wegman, and Defendants have been served. On March 23, 2012, Plaintiff filed a

19

motion to amend his compliant. On April 2, 2012, the court granted Defendants motion to extend

20

time to respond to the complaint until the court granted or denied Plaintiff’s motion to amend. On

21

April 23, 2012, Plaintiff filed a letter to the court stating that he has been retaliated against by being

22

transferred from Kern Valley State Prison. Plaintiff is advised that a document requesting a court

23

order must be styled as a motion, not a letter. The motion should state, as clearly as possible, the

24

relief sought.

25

It is unclear what action, if any, Plaintiff seeks in the letter filed April 23, 2012. Thus,

26

Plaintiff’s letter shall be disregarded. To the extent that Plaintiff wishes the court to take any action,

27

Plaintiff must file a motion requesting the desired relief.

disregarded, as it appears to the court that no action is requested.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
