ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

EXCEED BRIEF LIMIT AS MOOT

(Doc. 3.)

Curtis Lee Henderson, Sr. ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the Complaint commencing this action on February

27, 2013, together with a Motion to Exceed Brief Limit. (Doc. 13.)

Plaintiff requests leave to exceed brief limits because he lacks adequate access to the prison law

library and is unable to obtain court forms. Plaintiff asserts, however, that his handwritten Complaint

contains all of the information required.

Plaintiff has not specified the particular limit he seeks leave to exceed. It appears to the Court

that Plaintiff seeks the Court's approval of the format of the Complaint he filed in this action, which is

handwritten and was not submitted on a court form. Plaintiff is advised that he is not required to use

a particular court form for the Complaint, and there is no rule against submitting a handwritten document

to the Court. Therefore, Plaintiff's motion shall be denied as moot.

Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion to Exceed Brief

Limit, filed on February 27, 2013, is DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
