January 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER: Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #4 is granted. The Court orders the trust fund officer at Plaintiff's place of incarceration to deduct $25.67 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 of Court to (1) send (electronically if possible) a copy of this order to the trust fund officer at Plaintiff's current place of incarceration and to the Court's Fiscal Department; (2) file Plaintiff's complaint #2 ; (3) issue summonses for service of the complaint on Defendants Dart, McDonald, and Cannon-Smith by the U.S. Marshal; (4) terminate all remaining defendants from this action; and (5) send Plaintiff three blank USM-285 (Marshals service) forms, filing instructions, and a copy of this order. The Court appoints the U.S. Marshal to serve Defendants. Plaintiff must complete and return a USM-285 form for service on each Defendant, and failure to do so may result in dismissal of any unserved Defendant or this case.
