If the Court determines that the complaint fails to state a claim, leave to amend may be granted to the extent that the deficiencies in the complaint can be cured by amendment.

If appropriate after the case has been screened, the Clerk of Court will provide Plaintiff with the requisite forms and instructions to request the assistance of the United States Marshal in serving
