This case was opened when the court received from plaintiff a letter to Judge Wilken in
which he complained about some of the conditions at the jail at which he was incarcerated. In
an effort to protect his rights, it was filed as a new case. Plaintiff was informed that he had not
filed a complaint and was given thirty days to do so. He also was sent a notice that he had not
paid the filing fee or applied for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. He was allowed thirty days
to either pay the fee or file the application. A copy of the court's form for in forma pauperis
application was provided with the notice, along with a return envelope. In response, he wrote
back that he had not intended to file a new action and instead just wanted to send the judge an
informal letter. (Docket # 4.) This case is therefore DISMISSED without prejudice. No fee is
due. The clerk shall close the file.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 18, 2012
