No. C 12-02728 WHA

Pro se plaintiff Tyrone Hurt’s hand-written complaint was dismissed in part because it

15

was largely illegible. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis was thus denied,

16

“without prejudice to refiling once plaintiff has submitted a complaint that is legible” (Dkt. No.

17

11). Rather than file a legible complaint, however, plaintiff appealed the order denying him

18

leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The appeal was dismissed as untimely. Plaintiff has now

19

filed a letter, addressed to the Clerk, requesting that the complaint be forwarded back to him “to

20

be made legible.” First, such letters to the Court or the Clerk of the Court are improper.

21

Plaintiff should refrain from such communications in the future. The Clerk will not return

22

documents to plaintiff. Second, the Court construes this letter as a request to file an amended

23

complaint. Plaintiff must file an amended complaint by JANUARY 2, 2013. Failure to file a

24

cognizable legal claim by this date shall result in dismissal of this action with prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
