after careful review of the amended complaint (doc. no.

participation in the Pro Se Assistance Program (PSAP).” 

The undersigned agrees. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

(1) The motions to dismiss the amended complaint 

(doc. nos. 56 and 66) are denied with leave to renew.

(2) The motion to require a more definite statement 

(doc. no. 66) is granted. The magistrate judge is to 

set an appropriate deadline for producing said more 

definite statement, once the issue of counsel for 

plaintiff has been resolved.

(3) The motions for summary judgment (doc. nos. 68 

and 69) are denied as premature.
