forma pauperis. The application will be granted and the complaint will be dismissed pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § I915A, which requires the Court to screen and dismiss a prisoner’s complaint upon a
determination that it fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. See id. § 1915A(b).

Clerk of Court “to ﬁle a new complaint . . . to address the current status of his incarceration.”

psychiatric facility. See Tinsley v. United States, slip op., No. 13—1899 (UNA) (D.D.C. Dec. 2,

conﬁnement, and plaintiff has not named any . case will be dismissed.

officials, but such a claim should be pursued in the United States District Court for the District of
New Jersey. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b) (designating the proper venue under the circumstances
