ROBERT E. TIPPENS, JR.,
Petitioner,
Civil Action No. 3:17CV784-HEH

V.

HAROLD W. CLARKE,

Respondent.
MEMORANDUM OPINION

(Dismissing Action Without Prejudice)

Petitioner, a Virginia inmate proceeding pro se, submitted a Petition for a Writ of
Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (ECF No. 1), a Motion for Leave to File a

Motion for Injunctive Relief, a Motion for Three Judges, a Petition for a Writ of Habeas

Corpus, a Petition for Writ of Mandamus, and a Complaint (ECF No. 2), and a Motion
for Preliminary Injunction. (ECF No. 3.) In these submissions, it appeared that

Petitioner complained about his conditions of confinement, not the fact or duration of his

confinement. ByMemorandum Order entered on December 5, 2017, the Court informed
Petitioner that it would take no action on his current submissions, and denied his motions

without prejudice. The Court also directed Petitioner to complete the form for a 42
U.S.C. § 1983 action and retum the same to the Court within fifteen (15) days of the date

of entry thereof. The Court warned Petitioner that a failure to complete the form and
retum the same to the Court within fifteen (15) days of the date of entry thereof would
result in the dismissal of the action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
