April 17, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 20 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** The state defendants have filed a motion asking the court to screen plaintiff's complaint even though plaintiff is not a prisoner and is not proceeding in forma pauperis. Dkt. #18 . That motion is DENIED. Defendants are correct that the court may sua sponte screen and dismiss complaints filed by non-prisoner litigants who have paid the entire filing fee, but it did not do so here. Defendants are really asking for dismissal of the case, so they should file a formal motion to dismiss. Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to amend her complaint, Dkt. #19 , which I will DENY because the proposed amendment does not stand on its own as a complaint. Plaintiff remains free to file an amended complaint subject to the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15. Signed by District Judge James D. Peterson on 4/17/2023. (acd),(ps)
