ORDER
KENDALL J. NEWMAN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

If access to the required information is denied or unreasonably delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial intervention.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send to plaintiff one USM-285 form, along with an instruction sheet and a copy of the complaint filed September 28, 2021;
