Defendants.

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO CURE DEFICIENCIES

Plaintiff, a federal prisoner at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North
Carolina, has submitted to the court a pleading (ECF No. 1) claiming his rights have
been violated. Although it is not clear what specific claims Plaintiff is asserting or why
he is asserting the claims in the District of Colorado, he apparently intends to seek
some sort of relief in this court. Therefore, this civil action has been commenced. As
part of the court’s review pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 8.1(b), the court has determined
that the pleading is deficient as described in this order. Plaintiff will be directed to cure
the following if he wishes to pursue any claims in this court in this action. If Plaintiff
does not intend to pursue a civil action in this court regarding his allegations in the
pleading, 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.
