ELECTRONIC ORDER AND NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY. Plaintiff Raelun Stephens, Sr., must address the following deficiency: The letter request was not filed on the complaint form in compliance with Fed. R.

Further, a review of the docket reveals that Plaintiff has not yet registered as a user of the Court's electronic filing system, as required. Instructions for registering are found online at https://www.txnd.uscourts.gov/file-registration. Therefore, to the extent Plaintiff seeks to proceed with a new civil action, Plaintiff is ORDERED to (1) file a complaint on the Pro Se 1 complaint form; (2) pay the required filing and administrative fees of $405.00 or file a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on the AO 239 form, and (3) register to use the Court's electronic filing system, by April 18, 2025 . If Plaintiff did not intend to file a lawsuit at this time, Plaintiff may file a Notice of Dismissal and the case will be closed. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER WILL RESULT IN THE DISMISSAL OF THIS ACTION PURSUANT TO FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 41(b). Both a complaint for use in civil cases (Pro Se 1) and a form motion to proceed in forma pauperis (AO 239) are available online at http://www.uscourts.gov/forms/civil-forms. Any amended complaint will supersede (take the place of) Plaintiff's previous filing. Consequently, Plaintiff must state all claims and list all defendants in any amended complaint filed.
