MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on its own motion. The above-captioned matter
was provisionally filed on December 9, 2013. (Filing No. 3.) However, due to
certain technical defects, the Complaint cannot be further processed until such defects
are corrected. To assure further consideration of the Complaint, Plaintiff must correct
the defect listed below. FAILURE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT MAY
RESULT IN DISMISSAL OF THE COMPLAINT.
Plaintiff has failed to include the $400.00 filing and administrative fees.
Plaintiff has the choice of either tendering the $400.00 fees to the Clerk of the court
or submitting a request to proceed in forma pauperis and an affidavit of poverty in
support thereof. If Plaintiff chooses to do the latter, the enclosed pauper’s forms
should be completed and returned to this court.

1.
Plaintiff is directed to correct the above-listed technical defect in the
Complaint on or before January 23, 2014.
