ORDER DISMISSING CASE: Because Plaintiffs' applications DE #8 #9 reflect that they lack sufficient financial resources to pay the full filing fee in advance without undue hardship, they are GRANTED. For the reasons explained in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, Plaintiffs' claims against the State of Tennessee, DCS, and Omni Visions are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Complaint is DISMISSED. This is the final Order denying all relief in this case. The Clerk SHALL enter judgment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(b). Because an appeal would not be taken in good faith, Plaintiffs are not certified to appeal the judgment in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3). Signed by Chief Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw, Jr on 11/24/2020. (xc:Pro se party by regular mail.) (DOCKET TEXT SUMMARY ONLY-ATTORNEYS MUST OPEN THE PDF AND READ THE ORDER.)(kc)
