For the reasons set forth in the Memorandum Opinion filed herewith:

1. The Clerk is DIRECTED to correct the spelling of Defendant Gerald T. Edison's name on the Court's docket;

2. Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. 1] is GRANTED;

3. Plaintiff is ASSESSED the civil filing fee of $350.00;

4. The custodian of Plaintiff's inmate trust account is DIRECTED to submit the filing fee to the Clerk in the manner set forth in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion;

5. The Clerk is DIRECTED to provide a copy of this Judgment Order and the accompanying Memorandum Opinion to the custodian of inmate accounts at the institution where Plaintiff is now confined and the Court's financial deputy;

6. Plaintiff's motions to appoint counsel [Docs. 5, 12] are DENIED;

7. Plaintiff's motions to amend his complaint [Docs. 7, 11] are DENIED;

8. Plaintiff's “Letter of Advisements” [Doc. 14], to the extent that it could be construed as a motion to amend Plaintiff's complaint, is DENIED;

9. Even liberally construing the complaint in favor of Plaintiff, it fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted under Section 1983;

10. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion for Court intervention in a “Life[-]Threatening Medical Emergency” [Doc. 3] is DENIED and this action is DISMISSED under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A;

11. Because the Court CERTIFIED in the Memorandum Opinion that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, should Plaintiff file a notice of appeal, he is DENIED leave to appeal in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); Fed. R. App. P. 24; and

12. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file.

SO ORDERED.
