DANIEL J. ALBREGTS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) and a complaint (ECF No. 1-2) on January 11, 2022. Plaintiff is proceeding pro se. Plaintiff then paid the filing fee on January 12, 2022 and filed an amended complaint, rendering the application to proceed in forma pauperis moot.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiffs application to proceed in forma pauperis is denied as moot. Under Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff has 120 days-until Thursday, May 12, 2022-to serve Defendants.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall serve upon Defendants, or if appearance has been entered by counsel, upon the attorney(s), a copy of every pleading, motion, or other document submitted for consideration by the Court. Plaintiff shall include with the original paper submitted for filing a certificate stating the date that a true and correct copy of the document was mailed to the Defendants or counsel for the Defendants. The Court may disregard any paper received by a District Judge or a Magistrate Judge which has not been filed with the Clerk, and any paper received by a District Judge, Magistrate Judge or the Clerk which fails to include a certificate of service.
