ORDER
On February 6, 2026, the undersigned entered Findings, Conclusions, and
Recommendation (“FCR”) of the United States Magistrate Judge noting Plaintiff
Angelos Kolobotos’s failure to submit the required form necessary to consider
granting in forma pauperis status and recommending dismissal of this action unless
Plaintiff paid the filing fee in this case. (Dkt. No. 9.) On February 11, Plaintiff came
into compliance with prior orders by filing a sufficient IFP motion. (See Dkt. No.
11.) The Court therefore WITHDRAWS the FCR recommending dismissal of this
action. (Dkt. No. 9)
Based on the information contained in Plaintiff’s latest IFP motion, the
application (Dkt. No. 11) is GRANTED under 28 U.S.C. § 1915, and Plaintiff may
proceed in forma pauperis in this civil action. Plaintiff’s prior motions (Dkt. Nos. 4,
6) are TERMINATED as moot.
It is further ORDERED that:
(1) No service of process will issue pending completion of judicial screening
as provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
(2) No further motions for the appointment of counsel will be filed until the
Court has completed its screening.
(3) No further amendments or supplements to the complaint will be permitted
without prior approval from the Court. A complete amended complaint must
be attached to any motion to amend the complaint.
1 By Special Order No. 3-251, this pro se case has been automatically referred to the
undersigned magistrate judge for case management. (See Dkt. No. 1.)

(4) All discovery in this case is stayed until the Court enters a scheduling
order.
(5) Plaintiff must immediately notify the Court of any change of address and
its effective date by filing a notice entitled “Notice to the Court of Change of
Address.” The notice should contain only information about the change of
address and effective date. Failure to file a notice of change of address may
result in the dismissal of the action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
41(b).
The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to transmit a true copy of this order to
Plaintiff.
No process will issue except upon further order of the Court.
SO ORDERED on March 11, 2026.
