Description

Missouri prisoner Percy J. Cooper filed a 42 U.S.C. Â§ 1983 complaint of more than thirty pages, which listed as defendants twenty-four Department of Corrections (DOC) employees and two Correctional Medical Services employees. The District Court granted Cooper provisional leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP); stated that Coopers complaint did not conform with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a) s "short and plain statement" requirement; and explained to Cooper that he could file an amended complaint on court-approved forms, but his failure to do so would result in dismissal.
