Date Filed Document Text
January 15, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 14 TEXT ORDER - It was never the intent of the Court to limit the class in this action. However, it remains unclear to the Court how Plaintiffs seek to amend the case caption and/or if Plaintiffs also seek to amend their complaint. By 2/4/2021, Plaintiffs must clearly state their intention as to how they want the caption amended and whether Plaintiffs intend to amend the complaint. Signed by Chief Magistrate Judge Cynthia Reed Eddy on 1/15/2021. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (bsc)

Plaintiff Antoine Walker is hereby terminated as a named plaintiff. Plaintiff's argument that the Court has "arbitrarily limited the class" is without merit.

All plaintiffs in this case seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis must file their own motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and attach the proper financial documentation. Additionally, the motion submitted by Mr. Wakefield is deficient as it did not include the required affidavit or six-month account statement. Plaintiffs' papers are not being processed any further. Plaintiffs have the right to submit any paperwork which will make their paperwork in compliance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules of this Court. When Plaintiffs have met all the requirements to file a lawsuit, their paperwork will be processed. The Clerk of Court is to mark this case administratively CLOSED.
