MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: Pursuant to the attached Memorandum and Order, plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis 2 is granted, but the complaint is dismissed as to defendants Garcia, NYPD, City of New York, and District Attorney Ric hard Brown. The complaint is dismissed against Police Officer Jean-Louis, but with leave to amend for the purpose of asserting a false arrest claim as set forth in the opinion.

Any amended complaint must be captioned "Amended Complaint" and bear the docket number 18-CV-921 (ENV)(JO). The amended complaint must state (1) the date of plaintiff's arrest, (2) the name of the officer(s) who arrested him, (3) the exact charge(s) for which he was arrested, and (4) whether the case is ongoing or has been dismissed. The amended complaint shall replace the original complaint and be reviewed for compliance with this Memorandum and Order. If plaintiff elects not to file an amended complaint, or fails to do so in a timely manner, judgment shall be entered dismissing this action in its entirety. All other proceedings in this case are stayed until further order of the Court. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and, therefore, in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of a ppeal.
