sent all of his legal paperwork home to avoid retaliation for filing a lawsuit. Plaintiff requests 

the court to allow this case to proceed. 

Plaintiff has shown good cause for the court to vacate the findings and recommendations

issued on September 20, 2021 and grant him a thirty-day extension of time to file the amended 

complaint. Before preparing the amended complaint, Plaintiff is advised to review the court’s 

screening order for information and guidance on how to possibly cure the deficiencies in the 

Complaint identified by the court in the screening order. The Clerk’s Office shall be directed to 

send Plaintiff a copy of the screening order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The court’s findings and recommendations, issued on September 20, 2021, are 

withdrawn;

2. The Clerk’s Office is directed to send Plaintiff a copy of the court’s screening order 

issued on July 28, 2021 (ECF No. 6);

3. Plaintiff is granted an extension of time until thirty days from the date of service of 

this order in which to file an amended complaint, pursuant to the court’s screening 

order issued on July 28, 2021;

4. If Plaintiff requires a further extension of time, he should file a motion for extension 

of time before the deadline in this order expires; and

5. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order shall result in a recommendation that this 

case be dismissed in its entirety.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
