ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO AMEND
ANDREW L. CARTER, JR., United States District Judge:
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, filed the complaint commencing this action on September 23, 2021. ECF No. 1. On October 5, 2021, this Court ordered the Clerk of Court to issue summonses to Defendants and directed Plaintiff to serve summons and the Complaint within 90 days of issuance of the summons. ECF No. 9. On the same day, Plaintiff submitted a letter to the Court requesting to amend the Complaint.

Plaintiff has not filed proof that any Defendant has yet been served.
Accordingly, Plaintiffs request to amend the Complaint is GRANTED. Plaintiff is directed to serve the summons and the Amended Complaint on Defendants in accordance with the timing set forth in the Court's Order of Service dated October 5, 2021. ECF No. 9. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff.
SO ORDERED.
