Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis and directed the U.S. Marshal to effect 

service on Plaintiff’s behalf. Dkt. No. 11. 

The FAC alleges that Defendants violated Plaintiff’s (1) Eighth Amendment right 

to be free from cruel and unusual punishment and (2) First Amendment rights to freedom

the opportunity to fix his complaint, a district court may convert the dismissal of the 

complaint into dismissal of the entire action.”). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
