April 17, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 70 ORDER denying #56 Motion to Set Aside ; granting 60 Motion to Strike.Plaintiff's motion to set aside under Rule 60 was filed in the incorrect action. No final judgment has been entered in this case. The Court in fact granted leave to amend the complaint by separate order in this case. Thus Rule 60 relief is entirely premature. To the extent that Plaintiff is seeking relief from a judgment entered in a separate case, any Rule 60 motions must be filed within the auspices of that case.

Though untimely, the Court will grant the motion for extension of time for good cause shown and given Plaintiff's pro se status: Responses to motions to dismiss due by 4/4/2018.

December 4, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 19 ORDER denying #3 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis ; denying as moot #8 Motion to Appoint Special Process Server. ; denying as moot #10 Motion to Cease and Desist; denying as moot #11 Motion to Set Aside ; denying as moot #18 Motion to Compel.The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is Denied as Plaintiff has not submitted the necessary verified statement of assets and liabilities necessary to approve in forma pauperis status for a private civil action. The motion only attests that since his incarceration Plaintiff has had no income. Even assuming that is true, lack of contemporaneous income is only one of many factors relevant under 28 U.S.C. s. 1915. Plaintiff's ownership or control of any other tangible or intangible assets is also relevant to the analysis, but the current record does not allow for any finding in that regard. Accordingly, Plaintiff has not met his burden under the statute. Plaintiff shall therefore file an amended motion or otherwise file the necessary filing fee with the Clerk. The Court extends the time for service of the complaint on the Defendants, as per Rule 4, for an additional 30 days from this date.The remaining motions are Denied as moot, with leave to renew, based upon the absence of service on the defendants.Docket Order Signed by Magistrate Judge Edwin G. Torres on 12/4/2017. (EGT)
