MEMORANDUM ORDER
Joe Sherrod-Bey ("Sherrod-Bey") has now complied with this Court's most recent memorandum order ("Order," issued July 8, 2002) as to his payment in full of the $150 filing fee in this action, as well as all amounts owed by Sherrod-Bey as fees in his other cases. As the Order stated, that entitles him as a matter of right to file the Amended Complaint that he had previously tendered and that was received in the Clerk's Office on June 10, 2002.
By operation of law that Amended Complaint supersedes the original Complaint in its entirety. That being the case, the only presently-named defendants are Stateville Correctional Center ("Stateville") Superintendent Robert Griffin ("Griffin") and Stateville Correctional Officer C. Conditt ("Conditt"). And in compliance with Sherrod-Bey's most recent letter request, Conditt is dismissed voluntarily, so that only Griffin remains a target of Sherrod-Bey's action.
Because Sherrod-Bey has also furnished funds for the service of process on Griffin, the United States Marshal's Service is ordered to proceed with such service. This action is set for an initial status hearing at 8:45 a.m. September 27, 2002, and Griffin is ordered to make arrangements for Sherrod-Bey to have access to a telephone at that time so that he may participate in the status hearing.
