MEMORANDUM & ORDER
This case is filed pro se and without prepayment of fees by Plaintiff Roshawn McGee
(“Plaintiff”). Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s amended complaint [Doc. 10, the “Amended
Complaint”]. On December 23, 2025, the Court entered an order [Doc. 9] granting Plaintiff
permission to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), and screening Plaintiff’s complaint as required
by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). The Court found that, although Plaintiff had sufficiently pled some of her
claims, others could be subject to dismissal unless amended. The Court granted Plaintiff an
opportunity to amend her complaint and attempt to address any deficiencies with her claims as
drafted. Plaintiff timely filed an Amended Complaint, which is now likewise subject to screening
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). The Court has carefully reviewed the Amended Complaint and
finds that that Plaintiff’s claims SURVIVE SCREENING.
The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to send Plaintiff a service packet (a blank summons
and USM-285 form) for Defendant. Plaintiff is ORDERED to complete the service packet and
return it to the Clerk’s office within twenty-one (21) days of receipt of this Order. Plaintiff is
WARNED that if she fails to timely return the completed service packet, this action will be
dismissed.

of record of any changes in writing. Pursuant to Local Rule 83.13, it is the duty of a pro se party
to promptly notify the Clerk and the other parties to the proceedings of any change in his or her
address, to monitor the progress of the case, and to prosecute or defend the action diligently. E.D.
