filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 2). On October 25, 2022, the Court

undertaken until the Court screened the complaint in due course and issued a screening order. 

(ECF No. 3). 

On November 29, 2022, the Court issued a screening order dismissing without prejudice 

Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to file a first amended complaint. (ECF No. 4). The Court

date of service of the order to file a first amended complaint, curing if able, the deficiencies 

identified by the Court. Id. 

On December 8, 2022, Plaintiff filed a motion for a status report inquiring about the 

Court’s screening of his complaint. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED:

dismissing without prejudice Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to file a first amended 

complaint (ECF No. 4);

The amended complaint must be filed by January 5, 2023;

3. If Plaintiff fails to file a first amended complaint in compliance with the Court’s 

screening order, the Court will recommend to the district judge that this action be 

dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to obey a court order, failure to prosecute and for 

failure to state a claim. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
