MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon review of self-represented Plaintiff Pete Wright’s
complaint filed on December 4, 2025. ECF No. 1. The complaint is defective because it has not
been drafted on a Court form. See E.D. Mo. Local Rule 2.06(A) (“All actions brought by self-
represented plaintiffs or petitioners should be filed on Court-provided forms”). Because Plaintiff
is proceeding without counsel, the Court will allow him the opportunity to file an amended
complaint on Court-provided forms. Plaintiff has thirty (30) days from the date of this Order to
file an amended complaint in accordance with the specific instructions set forth here.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall mail to Plaintiff two blank
Prisoner Civil Rights Complaint forms.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff must file an amended complaint on the
Court’s form within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order. Plaintiff is advised that his
amended complaint will take the place of his original filing and will be the only pleading that
this Court will review.

Dated this 11th day of December, 2025.
