The second amended complaint, dkt. #19 , is the operative pleading in this case.

December 16, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 17 ORDER that plaintiff Demetrius Cooper's motion to amend his complaint, dkt. #8 , is GRANTED. Plaintiff's amended complaint, dkt. #15 , is the operative pleading in this case. Plaintiff may have until January 18, 2022 to identify for the court which numbered lawsuit identified above (Lawsuit 1 or 2) he wishes to proceed with under the case number assigned to this case. Plaintiff must pick one and only one of these lawsuits to proceed under case no. 21-cv-727-slc. Also by January 18, plaintiff is to tell the court whether he wishes to pursue his other lawsuit under a separate case number, or whether he will dismiss it voluntarily. If plaintiff chooses to dismiss his other lawsuit voluntarily, then he will not owe a filing fee and he will be permitted to refile the dismissed claims later, so long as he complies with the statute of limitations. If plaintiff chooses to pursue his other lawsuit under a separate case number, then he will owe a separate filing fee. Once plaintiff chooses which lawsuits he wants to pursue, I will screen the claims to determine whether they state a claim upon which relief may be granted. If plaintiff fails to respond to this order by January 18, then I will enter an order dismissing his claims without prejudice for his failure to prosecute them. Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration and renewed request to use his release account funds to pay for litigation costs, dkt. #16 , is DENIED. Plaintiff's motion to preserve evidence, dkt. #7 , is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Signed by Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker on 12/16/2021. (lam),(ps)
