Mr. Hollie’s request for appointment of counsel (ECF No. 14) is DENIED as

must be made by motion.” Furthermore, “[t]he rules governing captions and other
matters of form in pleadings apply to motions and other papers.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(b)(2).
Moreover, Mr. Hollie is advised that he may make the necessary corrections to the
named Defendants in the amended prisoner complaint he has been directed to file.

16) are DENIED.
Mr. Hollie is reminded that he has until October 6, 2014 to file his amended
prisoner complaint as directed in the Court’s September 4, 2014 Order Directing Plaintiff
