ORDER

October 19, 2015, requesting an extension of time of 30 days to file her complaint. Plaintiff states

13

that an extension of time is necessary because she is “poor and attacked.” (Id. at 1.) Plaintiff’s

14

letter also requests the court’s assistance with various other matters including obtaining copies of

15

the letters she has sent to the court, receiving permission to proceed in forma pauperis, and being

16

appointed an attorney. (Id. at 1-2.) Although it is somewhat unclear, is appears Plaintiff also is

17

requesting assistance related to multiple rapes, locating missing babies, and genocide. (Id. at 1-4.)

18

To date, Ms. Cram has sent twenty-nine letters to the court in which she requests the court’s

19

assistance with various matters. (See ECF Nos. 1-27, 29-30.) This case was initiated upon the

20

court’s receipt of Ms. Cram’s first letter, however, Ms. Cram has not filed a complaint. Thus, on

21

September 23, 2015, the court entered an order (ECF No. 28) requiring Ms. Cram to file a

22

complaint within 30 days from the date of the order. The court advised Ms. Cram that absent a

23

complaint, which commences a civil action, the court lacks jurisdiction to act on any of the requests

24

set forth in Ms. Cram’s letters. (Id.)
