By orders issued on June 25, 2013, and August 2, 2013, Plaintiff was given a
specific time frame in which to bring this case into proper form. [Entry #7; Entry #14].
Plaintiff has complied with the court’s orders, and this case is now in proper form.
Plaintiff has also filed motions requesting an independent evaluation [Entry #16]
