MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: From a review of Plaintiff's Application, it appears that Plaintiff lacks sufficient financial resources from which to pay the full filing fee in advance. Therefore, his Application (Doc. No. #2 ) is GRANTED. Plaintiff is hereby assessed the full civil filing fee of $350. The custodian of Plaintiff's inmate trust fund account at the institution where he now resides is DIRECTED to submit to the Clerk of Court, as an initial payment. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED send a copy of this Order to the administrator of inmate trust fund accounts at the WTSP to ensure that the custodian of Plaintiff's inmate trust account complies with that portion of 28 U.S.C. 1915 pertaining to the payment of the filing fee. The Court finds that the interests of justice do not require the appointment of counsel at this time. Plaintiff's Motion for the Appointment of Counsel (Doc. No. #3 ) therefore is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiff may renew this motion at a later time if the circumstances warrant. Having screened the complaint pursuant to the PRLA, the Court finds that the complaint fails to state a Section 1983 claim upon which relief can be granted against Deputy Warden Vantell in his official capacity, which is a claim against CoreCivic. That claim is DISMISSED. With regard to Plaintiff's Eighth Amendment driving-based claim against John Doe in his individual capacity, Plaintiff may amend his complaint to clarify whether Doe acted negligently or with a deliberate indifference to Plaintiff's health or safety. Further, the Court will permit Plaintiff to amend his complaint to add the entity that transported Plaintiff on March 14, 2024, as a defendant to this action, if the facts so warrant. Any such amended complaint MUST be filed within 30 days of entry of this Memorandum Opinion and Order. Signed by District Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw, Jr on 4/22/2024. (xc:Pro se party by regular mail. Copy of order sent to the administrator of inmate trust fund accounts at the WTSP. ) (DOCKET TEXT SUMMARY ONLY-ATTORNEYS MUST OPEN THE PDF AND READ THE ORDER.)(am)
