MEMORANDUM ORDER
Pro se Plaintiff Christopher Damone Davis, proceeding in forma pauperis, filed the instant
civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983 on March 30, 2012. On October 22, 2012,
Magistrate Judge Karen L. Hayes issued an order directing Plaintiff to amend his complaint to
provide additional information needed to evaluate his claims on or before November 21, 2012.
Plaintiff failed to comply with the order by the deadline, and, on January 14, 2013, the Magistrate
Judge issued a Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 15] recommending that the Court dismiss
Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to comply.
However, on January 29, 2013, Plaintiff filed a pleading in the form of a letter addressed to
Magistrate Judge Hayes providing some additional information his case. [Doc. No. 16].
Given Plaintiff’s indication that he now wishes to pursue his cause of action and the

Recommendation. Instead,
IT IS ORDERED that this matter be REMANDED to the Magistrate Judge for further

proceedings.
