October 30, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 10 COMPLAINT filed by Jermaine Brooks; Jury Demand. (Exhibits) (Envelope postmarked 9/22/2020) (ph, )
October 30, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER: The Court grants Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis #3 and orders the trust fund officer at Plaintiff's place of incarceration to deduct $31.31 from Plaintiff's account for payment to the Clerk of Court as an initial partial payment of the filing fee and to continue making monthly deductions in accordance with this order. The Court directs the Clerk to send a copy of this order (electronically if possible) to the trust fund officer at Plaintiff's current place of incarceration and to this court's fiscal department. The Court also directs the Clerk to (1) file Plaintiff's complaint #1 ; (2) issue summons for service of the complaint on Defendant Kim by the U.S. Marshal; (3) forward the USM-285 (Marshal service) form submitted by Plaintiff 5 to the Marshal; and (4) send Plaintiff a magistrate judge consent form, filing instructions, and a copy of this order. The Court appoints the U.S. Marshal to serve Defendant. Plaintiff is advised that he must promptly submit a change-of-address notification if he is transferred to another facility or released. Failure to do so may lead to dismissal of this action for failure to comply with a Court order and for want of prosecution. The Court denies Plaintiff's motion for attorney representation #4 without prejudice; his articulate and well-organized complaint suggests that he can perform the tasks required at this stage of the litigation. Signed by the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly on Oct. 30, 2020. Mailed notice (ph, )
