COMPLAINT

(Doc. 10.) 

Malcolm Y. Wright ("Plaintiff") is a prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action filed

pursuant to Bivens vs. Six Unknown Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Plaintiff filed the Complaint

commencing this action on January 4, 2010. (Doc. 1.) The Court screened the Complaint and entered

an order on December 13, 2010, dismissing the Complaint with leave to amend. (Doc. 9.) On January

13, 2011, Plaintiff filed the First Amended Complaint. (Doc. 10.)

On January 24, 2011, Plaintiff filed a Notice to the Court requesting assistance from the Court

concerning the filing of the First Amended Complaint. (Doc. 11.) Plaintiff states that he mailed the

First Amended Complaint to the Court, consisting of the three-page Bivens form and an attached 21-

page Statement of Claim, on January 5, 2011. Due to his inability to obtain a large enough envelope at

the institution, Plaintiff divided the First Amended Complaint into four parts and sent it to the Court in

four separate envelopes "marked '1 in 4,' etc." (Id. at 1 ¶4.) On January 18, 2011, Plaintiff received back

from the court pages 4 through 21 of the First Amended Complaint, with a Clerk's Notice that the case

number could not be identified. Plaintiff has now returned pages 4 through 21 to the Court together with

his Notice to the Court filed January 24, 2011. 

The Court finds Plaintiff's explanation credible and notes that Plaintiff's page 4 contains the

Court's official stamp RECEIVED JAN 13 2011, which is the same date the First Amended Complaint

was filed by the Court. Therefore, the Clerk shall be directed to add and incorporate pages 4 through

21 to Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint of January 13, 2011.

Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall attach and

incorporate pages 4 through 21, submitted to the Court by Plaintiff with his Notice to the Court on

January 24, 2011, to the First Amended Complaint filed on January 13, 2011. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
