ORDER

On April 6, 2010, Plaintiff John Calvin Neuendorf, II, who is confined in the

Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. #1). Plaintiff has not paid the $350.00 civil action filing fee or filed an

Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis with the Complaint.

On the first page of the Complaint, Plaintiff has marked the box next to “First

Amended Complaint.” Despite this indication that the Complaint was meant as a First

Amended Complaint, the Clerk of Court treated the pleading as a new Complaint and opened

this new case because Plaintiff had not filled in a case number in the caption of the

Complaint.

Upon investigating the matter, the Court has determined that the Complaint was

apparently meant as a First Amended Complaint in another case filed by Plaintiff (CV 10-

124-PHX-RCB (DKD)). In the interest of justice, the Court will dismiss this new case

without prejudice and direct the Clerk of Court to file a copy of the Complaint (Doc. #1) as

a First Amended Complaint in case #CV 10-124-PHX-RCB (DKD), nunc pro tunc April 6,
