ORDER DISREGARDING DOCUMENT

FILED IN SPANISH 

CLERK IS DIRECTED TO PROVIDE A

COPY OF DOCUMENT 4 TO PLAINTIFF

 

(Doc. 4)

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se. On July 12, 2007, plaintiff submitted a letter to the

court written in Spanish (Doc. 4). The court, however, does not accept filing in any language other than

English. The court is unable to read or comprehend the nature of these documents, and there are no

appropriated funds available to translate documents plaintiff files with the court which are written in a

language other than English. 

The court will direct the Clerk of the Court to return a copy of plaintiff’s letter to plaintiff. The

court will also grant twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order within which to resubmit the

document in English. Plaintiff is advised that if she fails to resubmit the document in English the court

cannot consider the letter filed in Spanish.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's letter submitted July 12, 2007 (Doc.4) is DISREGARDED;

2. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to provide plaintiff with a copy of her letter filed on

July 12, 2007 (Doc. 4); and

3. Plaintiff is GRANTED twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order to resubmit her

letter in English. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
