DEREK MATTHEWS,

Upon reconsideration, the undersigned finds that the July 21, 2023 order directing plaintiff 

to file an amended complaint within thirty days was premature. For this reason, the undersigned 

orders the amended complaint filed August 15, 2023 stricken. Following the district court’s order 

addressing the July 21, 2023 findings and recommendations, the undersigned will issue further 

orders addressing the amended complaint. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the amended complaint (ECF No. 55) is 

stricken from the record.
