MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon review of self-represented Plaintiff Rex Gunther’s
correspondence received by this Court on October 27, 2025 (see ECF No. 1), which the Court
construes as a civil rights Complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Complaint is defective because
it has not been drafted on a Court-provided form. See E.D. Mo. L.R. 2.06(A) (“All actions brought
by self-represented plaintiffs or petitioners should be filed on Court-provided forms”). Plaintiff
will be required to amend his Complaint on the Court-form within twenty-one (21) days of the
date of this Memorandum and Order.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to mail Plaintiff a copy of the
Court’s Prisoner Civil Rights Complaint form.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff must file an Amended Complaint on the
Court-provided form within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this Order.
