Filing 8
Order Denying Motion to Place Liens - Plaintiff Christopher Michael Johnson's motion to place liens, dkt. #7 , is denied. Mr. Johnson requests that the bank accounts of the defendant be frozen and that liens be placed on all vehicles, houses and property of the defendant because he fears that the defendant will try to liquidate his assets while the action is pending. Mr. Johnson's request is premature because no judgment has issued in this case. Moreover, Mr. Johnson has provided no showing or reason to believe that the defendant is trying to liquidate his assets to avoid any future financial liability in this action. Copy to plaintiff via US Mail. Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 9/7/2018. (APD)

Filing 5
Order Screening Complaint and Directing Service of Process - Plaintiff Christopher Michael Johnson is a pretrial detainee currently incarcerated at the Marion County Jail, Indianapolis, Indiana. Because Mr. Johnson is a "prisoner" as defined by 28 U.S.C. 1915(h), this Court has an obligation under 28 U.S.C. 1915A(b) to screen his complaint before service on the defendants. Mr. Johnson's Fourteenth Amendment claim for the denial of constitutionally adequate conditions of confinement against Sheriff Layton shall proceed. Mr. Johnson's First Amendment freedom of religion claim against Sheriff Layton shall proceed. The clerk is designated pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3) to issue process to defendant Sheriff John R. Layton in the manner specified by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d). Process shall consist of the complaint (docket #1 ), applicable forms (Notice of Lawsuit and Request for Waiver of Service of Summons and Waiver of Service of Summons), and this Order. (See Entry). Copies pursuant to distribution list. Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 8/15/2018.(APD)

Filing 4
Order on In Forma Pauperis Status - The plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, dkt. #2 , is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing ruling, "[a]ll [28 U.S.C.] 1915 has ever done is excuse pre-payment of the docket fees; a litigant remains liable for them, and for other costs, although poverty may make collection impossible." The assessment of even an initial partial filing fee is waived because the plaintiff has no assets and no means by which to pay a partial filing fee. No initial partial filing fee is due at this time. Copy to plaintiff via US Mail. Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 8/13/2018. (APD)
