November 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE: It has now become apparent that venue is not proper in this federal judicial district. Insofar as the motion to dismiss reveals that the defendants are Frisco police officers, Frisco is a municipality in Collin and Denton counties, both of which lie within the Sherman Division of the Eastern District of Texas. See 28 U.S.C. 124(c)(3). This action will therefore be transferred to that federal judicial district and division under Section 1391(b) and the undersigned's authority granted by Rule 2(a)(3) of the Court's Miscellaneous Order No. 6 on December 1, 2022 to allow any party to file an objection to the Judge Boyle within 14 days after being served with a copy of this order, see FED.

October 12, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 9 STANDING ORDER OF REFERENCE: This case is hereby referred to to Magistrate Judge David L. Horan for pretrial management. (Ordered by Judge Jane J Boyle on 10/12/2022) (svc) [Transferred from Texas Northern on 12/6/2022.]
October 12, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER TERMINATING MOTION AS MOOT, REGARDING SCREENING AND SERVICE, AND RETURNING CASE TO THE DISTRICT JUDGE: The Court therefore ABATES Fobbs's obligation to file an amended complaint, as the Court may no longer screen his claims under the IFP statute. The Court further advises Fobbs that, if proper service is not made and shown to the Court through filed proofs of service or filed waivers of service before the 90th day after the filing of this action (on August 16, 2022) that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday which, here, will be November 14, 2022 this case is subject to dismissal without prejudice unless it is shown that there is (1) good cause for the failure to timely and properly effect service and (2) good cause for the Court to extend the time for service for an appropriate period. And, because screening is now complete, that referral TERMINATES, and this case is RETURNED to Judge Boyle. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge David L. Horan on 10/12/2022) (axm) Modified on 10/18/2022 (mcrd). [Transferred from Texas Northern on 12/6/2022.]
