STATE OF NEW JERSEY, et al.,
Defendants.

THIS MATTER comes before the Court by application filed by Plaintiff, Gerald White

was informed by the Order that he could re-open his case upon submission of the filing fee or a
complete IFP application. (ECF No.2.)
2.

On February 11, 2013, Plaintiff submitted an IFP application as directed by the

Court's January 18,2013 Order. (ECF No.4.)
3. On May 2, 2013, Plaintiff submitted an amended Complaint. (ECF No.6.)
THEREFORE, IT IS ON THIS

~ay of June, 2014

ORDERED that the Clerk shall RE-OPEN the file in order for this Court to entertain
Plaintiffs application to proceed in forma pauperis and, if same is granted, to screen the
Complaint and amended Complaint for dismissal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and
