UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS 

FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT 

______________ 

No. 13-3611 

________________ 

PHILLIP LEE FANTONE, 

Appellant 

v. 

FRED LATINI, JOE BURGER, and RON MACKEY 

________________ 

On Appeal from the United States District Court 

for the Western District of Pennsylvania 

(D.C. Civ. No. 2-12-cv-01691) 

Honorable Cynthia R. Eddy, Magistrate Judge 

________________ 

BEFORE: VANASKIE, GREENBERG, and 

COWEN, Circuit Judges 

ORDER AMENDING OPINION 

 The opinion filed February 18, 2015 is hereby amended as follows: 

The sentence starting at the bottom of page 18 and continuing to the top of page 19 is 

amended to read as follows: 

The Supreme Court explained in Haines that a pro se complaint, “however 

inartfully pleaded,” must be held to “less stringent standards than formal 

pleadings drafted by lawyers,” id. at 520-21, 92 S.Ct. at 596, but we 

nonetheless review the pleading to ensure that it has “sufficient factual 

matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its 

face.” Ashcroft v Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949 (2009). 

Following this sentence the first letter in the first word of the citation. i.e. see, to Erickson 

v. Pardus shall be capitalized.

This amendment does not alter the prior disposition of the Court and the judgment 

entered on February 18, 2015 shall not be amended. 

 By the Court,
