ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION

(Document 15)

Plaintiff Tommy Curtis Eckman (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis, filed this civil rights action on September 18, 2013.

1

 On March 25, 2014, the 

Court issued an order to show cause they the action should not be dismissed for Plaintiff’s failure 

to file an amended complaint. Also on March 25, 2014, Plaintiff filed his amended complaint. 

On March 27, 2014, the Court discharged the order to show cause because Plaintiff had 

filed his amended complaint.

 

1 On September 27, 2013, Plaintiff consented to the jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge for all 

purposes.

On April 16, 2014, Plaintiff filed a document in which he expressed confusion over 

receiving both the order to show cause and the order discharging the order to show cause on the 

same day. The orders were issued within two days of each other, likely leading to the same-day 

delivery.

Plaintiff need not take any action at this time. The Court will screen his First Amended 

Complaint in due course.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 28, 2014 /s/ Dennis L. Beck
