Case No. 2:15-cv-02007-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 5)

16

Concurrently herewith, the Court is issuing orders granting Plaintiff’s application to proceed in

17

forma pauperis and dismissing Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend. Also pending before the Court

18

is Plaintiff’s motion for a “cease and desist order.” See Docket No. 5. The precise relief sought through

19

that motion is not clear. Nonetheless, the pending motion is DENIED without prejudice in light of the

20

procedural posture of this case.1 In the event Plaintiff is found to have stated a viable claim in an amended

21

complaint, he may renew the instant request for relief.

22

IT IS SO ORDERED.

The motion is also DENIED because it was not properly signed as required by the rules of this
Court. See, e.g., Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). The Court will not recognize a thumb print as a proper signature.
See Docket No. 5 at 3:26. All future filings by Plaintiff must include a signature.
