MEMORANDUM_ORDE!

Kane County Jail (“Jail”) inmate Rodney Patton (“Patton”)
has used the form of 42 U.S.C. §1983! Complaint provided by this
District Court's Clerk's Office to assert a claim against several
defendants affiliated with the Jail, while coupling his the
Complaint with an In Forma Pauperis Application (“Application”).
This memorandum order is issued sua sponte to address problems
posed by both of those documents.

As for the Complaint, Patton asserts in Complaint {III.A
that no grievance procedure is available at the Jail. That seems
doubtful, and Section 1997e(a) prohibits the filing of an action
such as Patton's “until such administrative remedies as are
available are exhausted.” Accordingly a copy of this memorandum
order is being sent to the Jail with a request that an
appropriate official there transmit to this Court's chambers on

or before April 8, 2003 (with a copy being furnished to Patton) a

statement that either identifies the administrative remedies
provided there or confirms that none are provided.

As for the Application, it has not been accompanied with a
printout showing transactions in Patton's trust fund account for
the six-month period preceding his filing, as is required by 28
U.S.C. §1915(a) (2). And if Patton has also been confined in some
other correctional institution during that six-month period (as
seems to be indicated by his forwarding letter, which refers to
his having been transferred before suit was filed), a similar
printout must be obtained from that institution as well. Those

materials must be transmitted to this Court's chambers on or
