Case No. 2:15-cv-00540-RFB-CWH
ORDER

Barbara Ruth Cram is a pro se plaintiff who has sent twenty-seven letters to the Court in

12

which Ms. Cram requests the Court’s assistance with various matters. (See ECF Nos. 1-27.) This

13

case was initiated upon the Court’s receipt of Ms. Cram’s first letter, however, Ms. Cram has not

14

filed a complaint. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 3, “[a] civil action is commenced by

15

filing a complaint with the court.” Absent a complaint, the Court lacks jurisdiction to act on any of

16

the requests set forth in Ms. Cram’s letters. The Court therefore will order Ms. Cram to file a

17

complaint if she intends to proceed with this case. Ms. Cram further is advised that if she decides

18

to file a complaint, it must be accompanied by the applicable filing fee or an application to proceed

19

in forma pauperis.

20

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Barbara Ruth Cram must file a complaint, along with

21

the applicable filing fee or application to proceed in forma pauperis, within 30 days of the date of

22

this Order.

24

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that failure to comply with this Order may result in a
recommendation that this case be dismissed.
