ROGER JACKSON,
Plaintiff,
v. 	Case No. 8:22-cv-755-WFJ-JSS
SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS,
Defendant.
/
ORDER
This cause is before the Court on a handwritten letter (Doc. 1) sent by Roger
Jackson, in which he claims he is being denied mail at the North Dakota State
Penitentiary. 	Although his allegations are not entirely clear, he also appears to
challenge the penal institution’s use of a digital mail system that he claims is located
in Tampa, Florida.
Although 	the 	letter 	references 	Tampa, 	Florida, 	Jackson’s 	allegations
ultimately relate to the mail handling process used by the North Dakota State
Penitentiary. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall transfer this
