ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S

THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINTS

AND INSTRUCTIONS TO THE

CLERK

(Docket no. 11)

On July 28, 2005, Plaintiff filed a pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983

and a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. After Plaintiff filed several amended

complaints, the Court dismissed the operative complaint with leave to amend within thirty

days. The Court advised Plaintiff therein that in the amended complaint, Plaintiff could

file only properly joined claims and that any claims that were not joinable must be filed as

a separate complaint. Thereafter, on May 30, 2006, Plaintiff filed what appears to be two

separate documents labeled Third Amended Complaint, Number One and Third Amended

Complaint, Number Two. Given the Court’s order, it is apparent that Plaintiff was

attempting to file the claims in each document as a separate complaint. As such, the Clerk

of Court is directed to separate the two separately filed complaints under docket number

17 and file “Number One” as a separate matter under a new case number, to be assigned to

this Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 5, 2006
