MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This case comes before the Court on multiple pending motions. First, self- represented Plaintiff Jason Tackett seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis, or without prepayment of fees and costs. [Doc. 8]. Plaintiff's first request for in forma pauperis status was denied because Plaintiff's motion contained incomplete financial information. [See Doc. 7 at 2-4]. Based on the financial information provided in Plaintiff's second motion, the motion will be granted, and the filing fee will be waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Second, on August 13, 2025, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss and memorandum in support. [Docs. 13 & 14]. Two days later, Defendants filed a motion to withdraw the motion to dismiss and memorandum in support and asked the Court to replace those documents with amended pleadings filed on behalf of all Defendants except defendant John Doe. [Doc. 17]. An amended motion to dismiss and memorandum in support were attached to the motion to withdraw. For good cause shown, the motion to withdraw will be granted and the Clerk of Court will be directed to detach and docket the

amended filings. Plaintiff should respond to Defendants' amended motion to dismiss within the time allowed under Federal and Local Rules.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's second motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. 8] is GRANTED and the filing fee is waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's motion to withdraw [Doc. 17] is
GRANTED and Defendants' motion to dismiss and memorandum in support [Docs. 13 &
14] are WITHDRAWN from the record.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall detach Defendants' amended filings [Docs. 17-1 & 17-2] and docket them separately in this case.
IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that, if Plaintiff wishes to respond to Defendants' amended motion to dismiss, he shall do so in the time allowed under Federal and Local Rules. Plaintiff is warned that failure to respond to the motion could result in dismissal of this action without further notice.
Dated this 2ndday of September, 2025.
