ORDER

This matter is before the Court upon consideration of a Report and
Recommendation (R&R) issued by the Magistrate Judge on December 9, 2021. (ECF
No. 8). In that filing, the Magistrate Judge recommended that the Motion for
Default Judgment of Plaintiff Justin Millhouse, II, aka Alexis Millhouse 1 (ECF No.
7) be denied under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1997e(g)(1) and e(g)(2) and for failure to obtain
service and to comport with Fed. R. Civ. P. 55. Plaintiff’s December 14, 2021
Response (ECF No. 9) is not an objection but rather a request for instruction on how
to obtain service on the Defendants. The Court cannot provide legal advice;
however, the Clerk is ORDERED to mail Plaintiff a copy of the Court’s Pro Se
Manual.

Plaintiff filed for a gender marker change in December 2021 and asks that
the Court use a female pronoun when referring to her. (ECF No. 9.) The Court will
honor that request.
