OPINION AND ORDER Upon unopposed motion and for good cause shown, plaintiff s Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint, Doc. No. 58, is GRANTED. Plaintiff s motion indicates that it is intended to serve as an amended complaint. See id. at p. 3. The Clerk is therefore DIRECTED to remove Doc. No. 58 from the Court s pending motions list and to indicate on the docket that Doc. No. 58 is both an amended complaint and a motion to amend the complaint. Plaintiff is ADVISED that he must submit copies of the amended complaint, summonses, and Marshal service forms for defendants John Gardner and Andrew Eddy, M.D. The fact that plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis does not entitle him to free copies of his filings. 28 U.S.C. ยง 1915.
