Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01253-JLT (PC)

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF'S 

UNSIGNED SECOND MOTION

FOR RECONSIDERATION OF 

DISMISSAL 

(Doc. 12)

Plaintiff, Jerome Lee Cross, is currently in Kings County jail awaiting transfer to state 

prison and is currently proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on August 11, 2014. (Doc. 1.) This action was 

dismissed without prejudice as barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994) on September 

8, 2014 and judgment was entered that same date. (Docs. 8, 9.) On September 8, 2014, Plaintiff 

filed a motion for reconsideration of the dismissal of this action which was denied on October 10, 

2014. (Docs. 10, 11.) On February 17, 2015, Plaintiff filed an unsigned second motion for 

reconsideration indicating that his action is no longer barred by Heck v. Humphry, 512 U.S. 477 

(1994) which is before the Court. (Doc. 12.) 

All motions and other paper filed with in a federal court "must be signed by at least one 

attorney of record in the attorney's name -- or by a party personally if the party is unrepresented." 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a).
