Opinion Notes:
INITIAL REVIEW ORDER BY SCREENING JUDGE - IT IS ORDERED: The Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Plaintiff has twenty-eight (28) days within which to file an amended complaint as described above. If Plaintiff does so, Plaintiff must file (along with the amended complaint) a Motion to Review the Amended Complaint. Alternatively, Plaintiff may file a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal if Plaintiff no longer intends to pursue this case. If Plaintiff does not file a timely amended complaint, this case may be dismissed with prejudice and without further notice for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, failure to prosecute, or failure to comply with a Court order. Because an amended complaint is required for Plaintiff to proceed, Plaintiff's request for appointment of counsel (contained in the Complaint) is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff may renew the request for counsel in an amended complaint. Because the bond requirement of Idaho Code § 6-610(2) does not apply to prisoner-plaintiffs who are proceeding in forma pauperis, Plaintiff's Motion for Hearing to Waive Requirements of ID Statute 6-610 (Dkt. 4) is MOOT. See Kangas v. Wright, No. 1:15-CV-00577-CWD, 2016 WL 6573943, at *6 (D. Idaho Nov. 4, 2016) ([A]n indigent prisoner's state-law claims will not be barred for failure to post the requisite bond.).
