September 9, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER TO AMEND. The Clerk of Court is directed to assign this matter to my docket, mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff, and note service on the docket. Plaintiff is granted leave to file an amended complaint that complies with the standards set forth above. Plaintiff must submit the amended complaint to this Court's Pro Se Intake Unit within sixty days of the date of this order, caption the document as an "Amended Complaint," and label the document with docket number 19-CV-6274 (CM). An Amended Civil Rights Complaint form is attached to this order. No summons will issue at this time. If Plaintiff fails to comply within the time allowed, and he cannot show good cause to excuse such failure, the complaint will be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. The Court dismisses Plaintiff's claims against the MDC, the BOP, and WCDOC. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), (iii). The Clerk of Court is directed to add Westchester County as a Defendant under Fed. R. Civ. P. 21. The Court construes the complaint as asserting a Bivens claim and an FTCA claim, adds the United States as a defendant under Fed. R. Civ. P. 21, and transfers the Bivens and FTCA claims to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, with the United States being the sole defendant. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). The Clerk of Court is directed to docket this as a "written opinion" within the meaning of Section 205(a)(5) of the E-Government Act of 2002. SO ORDERED. Westchester County and United States of America added. Westchester County Department of Corrections (CCS), Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center and Federal Bureau of Prisons terminated.

If Plaintiff is transferred to another facility, the current facility shall provide a copy of this order to the facility to which Plaintiff is transferred.
