October 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 8 MERIT REVIEW ORDER entered by Judge Joe Billy McDade on 10/16/2023. Plaintiff's Motion to Request Counsel #5 is denied. Plaintiff's claim is frivolous. Any time spent on it by a volunteer attorney would be time wasted. Plaintiff's complaint is dismissed with prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and as a violation of Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Amendment of Plaintiff's complaint would be futile. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of Defendants and against Plaintiff. This case is terminated. If Plaintiff wishes to appeal this judgment, he must file a notice of appeal with this Court within 30 days of the entry of judgment. See written order. (KE)
