CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.
Movant, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2255 Cases, the court must review all § 2255 motions and summarily dismiss any motion if it is plain that the movant is not entitled to relief.
In his motion, movant fails to state a factual or legal basis for relief. Rather, he points to attachments and seemingly directs the court to discern the basis for relief from them. This is not appropriate. Good cause appearing, movant's § 2255 motion will be denied without prejudice and with leave to amend. If movant elects to amend, he must articulate the basis of his claim in the body of his motion and not simply point to attachments. If movant does not file an amended motion, the court will recommend that this § 2255 action be closed.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Movant's § 2255 motion is denied without prejudice and with leave to amend within 30 days. If movant elects to amend, his amended motion must be filed on the form provided by the Clerk of the Court, must comply with this order and must include the docket number assigned to this case on his amended motion. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this § 2255 action be closed.
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send movant the court's form for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.
