ORDER RE: MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION & REQUEST FOR STATUS HEARING At Docket 4, Mr. Harry requests the Court set a status hearing so that he can inquir e whether this case is proceeding under 42 U.S.C. § 1 983 or the Supremacy Clause.

Mr. Harry has been granted leave to file a proper complaint. Further, the Court cannot advise on Mr. Harry’s litigation—it only may rule on the cases or controversies before it.1 Therefore, a hearing is this matter is inappropriate. The Motion for Clarification & Request for Status Hearing at
Docket 4 is DENIED.
