Turner was taken to a Boston Police station and made to wait in the transport until he could be processed by the Boston Police. At some point, MBTA officers released Turner apparently without being processed. Although plaintiff claims that this incident is an example of “police abuse,” he has not sued any of the police officers. Three months later, on May 18, 2017, Tuner was arrested on a warrant concerning the assault after being stopped by local police in Chelsea, Massachusetts. After several court appearances at which Bromfield did not appear, the charges were dismissed. Turner was assessed a court fee of $150, and was permitted to perform 15 hours of community service in lieu of payment of the fee. Turner chose to perform community service. Turner seeks only monetary relief against the defendants. Il. Discussion A. Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed in forma pauperis Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 7) is meritorious and it is hereby allowed. B. Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint Plaintiff's motion for leave to file an amended complaint (ECF No. 8) is hereby allowed. Plaintiff may amend his complaint once as a matter of course without leave of court. See. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). Accordingly, the motion to amend is allowed, and the proposed Amended Complaint, ECF No. 8-1, will be docketed by the Clerk as the operative pleading. Cc. Preliminary Screening of the Amended Complaint Because plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, his amended complaint is subject to
