February 14, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #6 is granted. The Court orders the trust fund officer at Plaintiff's place of incarceration to immediately deduct $7.92 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.

Summons, however, shall not issue. Plaintiff's complaint #1 is dismissed for failure to state a federal claim. Failure to submit an amended complaint that complies with this order by March 15, 2024, will result in entry of judgment against Plaintiff. Plaintiff also must promptly submit a change-of-address notification if he is transferred to another facility or released. If Plaintiff fails to keep the Court informed of his address, this action will be subject to dismissal without further warning.
