The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the State of New York as a defendant in this action. The Clerk of Court is further instructed to issue summonses for the Village of Ossining and correction officers A. Thomas, K. Edwards, and M. Banks, complete the USM-285 forms with the addresses for these Defendants, and deliver all documents necessary to effect service to the U.S. Marshals Service.

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 IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v.
