ORDER

Therefore, his application to proceed in forma pauperis shall be granted.

Also before the court is plaintiff's motion to request authority from the court (#42). While not entirely clear, plaintiff appears to request an opportunity to prove count III of his complaint. However, plaintiff's complaint has yet to be served and defendants have not had an opportunity to file a responsive pleading. Accordingly, plaintiff's motion is denied as improper and premature.

The Clerk of the Court shall SEND a copy of this order to the Finance Division of the Clerk's Office. The Clerk shall also SEND a copy of this order to the attention of the Chief of Inmate Services for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Toledo Correctional Institution, P.O. Box 80033, 2001 East Central Avenue, Toledo, OH 43608. 5.

As to any of the named defendants for whom the Attorney General's Office cannot accept service, the Office shall file, under seal, the last known address(es) of those defendant(s) for whom it has such information. 7. If service cannot be accepted for any of the named defendant(s), plaintiff shall file a motion identifying the unserved defendant(s), requesting issuance of a summons, and specifying a full name and address for the defendant(s). As to any of the defendants for whom the Attorney General has not provided last-known-address information, plaintiff shall provide the full name and address for the defendant(s). 8.

Plaintiff shall include with the original paper submitted for filing a certificate stating the date that a true and correct copy of the document was mailed to the defendants or counsel for the defendants. If counsel has entered a notice of appearance, the plaintiff shall direct service to the individual attorney named in the notice of appearance, at the address stated therein. The court may disregard any paper received by a district judge or magistrate judge which has not been filed with the Clerk, and any paper received by a district judge, magistrate judge, or the Clerk which fails to include a certificate showing proper service.
