Judge Joseph has cut The Dreadful Pro-Se Schmalfeldt some slack and allowed his amended complaint to become the operative complaint.
IANAL, but this looks like good news for the defendants. First, the amended complaint is actually weaker than the original. Second, it allows them to file a motion under Rule 12(b)(6) which can result in dismissal with prejudice.
Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.
