SCREENING ORDER - it is HEREBY ORDERED THAT: (1) Plaintiff shall, if he chooses, file an amended complaint on or before 5/28/2025. Failure to file an amended complaint may result in the dismissal of this case. Again, Plaintiff is placed on notice that any amended complaint must be complete in all respects; it must be a new pleading that complies with the requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure which stands by itself without reference to the complaint already filed. The amended complaint will completely replace the original complaint, therefore if Plaintiff chooses to file an amended complaint, the original complaint will have no role in the future of this case.
