The Clerk is DIRECTED to file the complaint without prepayment of costs or fees.The Clerk shall not issue process, however, at this time. Plaintiff shall have 30 days from the entry of this Order within which to submit an amended complaint in compliance with this Order. After this thirty-day period has passed, or upon the filing of an amended complaint, the Court will then submit a report and recommendation to the District Court addressing whether this action states a claim that can proceed beyond the 1915 screening process. The Court hereby places Plaintiff on notice that if an amended complaint is not submitted within that time, it is the intention of the Court to recommend to the District Court that Plaintiff's claims be dismissed because the complaint originally submitted fails to set forth a claim upon which relief may be granted.Signed by Magistrate Judge Cynthia R Wyrick on 11/07/2022.
