No. 4:17-CV-1389 SPM

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Before the Court is plaintiff’s motion to file a second amended complaint. Plaintiff was
granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this matter on August 3, 2017. After reviewing the
second amended complaint in its entirety, the Court will grant plaintiff’s motion and order
service to be effectuated by the U.S. Marshal’s Office. However, plaintiff’s motion for
appointment of counsel will not be granted at this time. Plaintiff has shown that he has the
ability to represent himself at this juncture, and the legal proceedings are not so complex to be
arduous.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to file a second amended complaint
[Doc. #8] is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to issue process or cause
process to issue on the second amended complaint at the addresses provided by plaintiff in the
second amended complaint.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for appointment of counsel [Doc.
#3] is DENIED at this time.
