May 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 29 **PLEASE DISREGARD - DOCKETED IN ERROR** ENTRY SCREENING THE AMENDED COMPLAINT AND DIRECTING SERVICE - In its Entry of April 13, 2022, the Court granted pro se Plaintiff Deonte' Smith's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, screened his Complaint, and directed him to correct his pleading deficiencies by filing an amended complaint no later than May 13, 2022, or his action would be dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction (Filing No. #9 ). On May 2, 2022, Plaintiff filed his Amended Complaint (Filing No. #12 ). Because Plaintiff's case is proceeding in forma pauperis, the action is subject to screening pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B). At this time, the Court has not determined that the action must be dismissed pursuant to 1915(e) and therefore shall proceed. This ruling is without prejudice to the filing of a proper Rule 12 motion. Because Plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(c)(3) requires the Court to order service for him. Accordingly, the Clerk is designated pursuant to Rule 4(c)(3) to issue process to Defendants Daniel Elliott, Ryan Bowersox, and William McInerney in the manner specified by Rule 4(d). Process shall consist of the Amended Complaint (Filing No. #12 ), applicable forms (Notice of Lawsuit and Request for Waiver of Service of Summons and Waiver of Service of Summons), and this Entry. Because the Amended Complaint names Daniel Elliott, Ryan Bowersox, and William McInerney as the only Defendants in this action, the Clerk is directed to TERMINATE Lucy Frick, Emily Chastain, and Laura Pitts as defendants on the docket. Copies sent pursuant to distribution list. (See Order). Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 5/10/2022.(AKH) Modified on 5/10/2022 (AKH).
May 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 28 ORDER ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT - This matter is before the Court on a Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint filed by pro se Plaintiff James Frank Noel, Jr. (Filing No. #13 ). Noel's civil rights action was commenced on March 21, 2022, when he filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana (Filing No. #1 ). On April 5, 2022, the case was transferred to the Southern District of Indiana (Filing No. #9 ; Filing No. #10 ). On April 13, 2022, Noel submitted partial payment of the filing fee, and on May 4, 2022, paid the remaining portion of the filing fee (see Filing No. 15 ; Filing No. 27 ). After the case was transferred to this Court, in a one-week period, Noel filed eight similar motions asking the Court to dismiss a state court indictment, vacate a conviction, and provide additional time to pay the filing fee (Filing No. #18 ; Filing No. #19 ; Filing No. #20 ; Filing No. #21 ;Filing No. #22 ; Filing No. #23 ; Filing No. #25 ; Filing No. #26 ). The Court DENIES these motions without prejudice as being the improper procedural mechanism for the specific request, prematurely filed, or moot. The Court GRANTS Noel's Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint (Filing No. #13 ). Noel shall have through Thursday, June 30, 2022, to file his amended complaint. (See Order). Copies sent pursuant to distribution list. Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 5/10/2022. (AKH)
