Alabama, submitted a letter with several attachments relating to “a
mediation and arbitration package.”

to file a civil rights complaint, the Clerk of the Court opened a
civil rights case with the number C-12-6289 TEH.

Also, on December

11, 2012, the Clerk of the Court sent Plaintiff a notice that he had
failed to file a complaint or an application to proceed in forma
pauperis.

The notice stated that, if Plaintiff did not remedy these

deficiencies in thirty days from the filing date of the Order, his
action would be dismissed and the file closed.

Thirty days have

passed and Plaintiff has not filed the requested documents or
communicated with the Court in any way.
