ORDER
[Docket Nos. 9, 11, 12, 13].
NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the Court are Plaintiff's applications to proceed in forma pauperis, Docket Nos. 9, 13, a motion by defense counsel to be removed as attorney of record, Docket No. 11, and Plaintiff's motion for an extension of time to serve the complaint, Docket No. 12.
I. APPLICATIONS TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
The filing fee for this case already has been paid. Docket No. 1. Accordingly, the applications to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket Nos. 9, 13) will be denied as unnecessary.
II. MOTION TO BE REMOVED AS ATTORNEY OF RECORD
Jonathan Lee is no longer associated with Marquis Aurbach Coffing. Accordingly, his motion to be removed as counsel from the CM/ECF service list (Docket No. 11) will be granted.
III. MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO SERVE THE COMPLAINT
The Court has not yet screened the complaint and service is not appropriate until screening is complete. Therefore, service of the complaint is premature at this time. The motion for an extension of time to serve the complaint (Docket No. 12) will be denied as premature.
IV. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the applications to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket Nos. 9, 13) and the motion to extend time (Docket No. 12) are DENIED. The motion to be removed as counsel from the CM/ECF service list (Docket No. 11) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
