Dkt. 17.

The Court gave Mr. Gaines through October 25, 2024, to file an amended complaint. Id. Mr. Gaines has filed an amended complaint, dkt. [25], but the amended complaint also does not state a plausible claim. It alleges violations of various statutes and the Constitution, and various harms relating to past incarceration and institutionalization, as well as being "inserted into the digital matrix," undergoing medical experiments and other medical procedures, suffering religious persecution and discrimination, and many other claims.

Dkts. 25, 25-1. However, it does not identify how the defendants are responsible for the harms alleged, or otherwise “state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 5770 (2007).

Mr. Gaines’ claims are therefore DISMISSED with prejudice. See Paul v. Marberry, 658 F.3d 702, 704-05 (7th Cir. 2011). His motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, dkt. [2], for injunctive relief, dkt. [3], to request action to have defendant pay attorney fees, dkt. [4], for release of all financials from bank defendants holding monies, dkt. [5], to consolidate cases, dkt. [6], for extension of time of appeal rules, dkt. [14], for another examination under Rule 1, dkt. [15], for initial brief to address S.D. of IN, dkt. [16], for preliminary injunction, dkt. [19], to request mediator for claim resolve in technical assistance, dkt. [18], for revocation, dkt. [20], to discredit, dkt. [21], for on record designation to prevent moot, dismiss, dkt. [22], and for superseding cause of extraordinary remedy, dkt. [23], are DENIED.

His motion for belated request to seal case, dkt. [24], remains pending.

Final judgment will issue by separate entry.

SO ORDERED.
