ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO CURE DEFICIENCIES

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility in Centennial,
Colorado, has submitted to the court a letter complaining about the conditions of his
confinement. Because Plaintiff apparently intends to seek judicial relief in this court, this
civil action has been commenced. As part of the court’s review pursuant to
D.C.COLO.LCivR 8.1, the court has determined that the letter is deficient as described
in this order. Plaintiff will be directed to cure the following if he wishes to pursue his
claims. If Plaintiff does not intend to pursue a civil action in this court regarding his
allegations in the letter, he should advise the court of that fact and the instant action will
be dismissed. Any papers that Plaintiff files in response to this order must include the
civil action number on this order.
