ORDER
AND NOW, this 25th day of October, 2017, after considering the application to proceed
in forma pauperis and proposed complaint filed by the pro se plaintiff, Lorraine Herrera (Doc.
No. 1); and for the reasons set forth in the separately filed memorandum opinion, it is hereby
ORDERED as follows:
1.

The application to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 1) is GRANTED and the

plaintiff has leave to proceed in forma pauperis;
2.

The complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE;

3.

The request to proceed pro se (Doc. No. 2) is DENIED AS MOOT because the

plaintiff does not need permission to proceed pro se; and

The plaintiff shall have a period of twenty-one (21) days from the date of this

order to file an amended complaint. If the plaintiff fails to timely file an amended complaint, the
court will dismiss her claims with prejudice.
