WO 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Thad Jarvis Thompson, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

Burns, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. CV 13-1715-PHX-DGC (MEA) 

ORDER 

Plaintiff Thad Jarvis Thompson, who is confined in the Corrections Corporation of 

America-Saguaro Correctional Center, has filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Plaintiff claims 

that he was denied due process during disciplinary proceedings. 

I. Additional Information Required 

Plaintiff’s identification number indicates that Plaintiff is federal inmate, but it is 

unclear whether Plaintiff is an immigration detainee or whether he is serving a sentence 

pursuant to a federal conviction. Plaintiff’s status as an immigration detainee or 

convicted inmate is relevant to whether he is subject to the in forma pauperis restrictions 

of the Prisoner Litigation Reform Act and to which due process standard the Court must 

apply when evaluating Plaintiff’s allegations.

Accordingly, the Court will require Plaintiff to file, within 30 days, a notice 

informing the Court as to whether he is an immigration detainee or a convicted inmate.
