MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon review of self-represented Plaintiff’s letter to the Court
dated October 30, 2025, which the Court construes as a prisoner 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). Additionally, Plaintiff has neither paid the filing fee nor filed
an application to proceed in district court without prepaying fees or costs. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to mail Plaintiff (1) a copy of the
Court’s prisoner civil rights complaint form, and (2) a copy of the application to proceed in district
court without prepaying fees or costs.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff must either pay the $405 filing fee or submit
the application to proceed in district court without prepaying fees or costs within 21 days of the
date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff must file and amended complaint on the
Court-provided form within 21 days of the date of this Order.
