KATHLEEN DICKINSON,

Defendant.

ORDER
/
17
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel. On May 23, 2011, the
18
court opened this case upon plaintiff’s filing a motion for an extension of forty-five days “in
19
which to prepare and file his case with the U.S. District Court Eastern District.” Motion at 2
20
(Docket No. 1). Plaintiff states no facts or legal bases on which this court could construe his
21
motion as a complaint for relief under any federal statute. Furthermore, the court cannot
22
authorize an extension of time for a putative litigant to initiate an as-yet unfiled action. Because
23
plaintiff states no basis on which he could obtain relief from this court, this action will be
24
dismissed without prejudice.
