should proceed.

Defendant Henderson he believes are deemed admitted by reason of default with
reference to the paragraph in the complaint where such facts are alleged; (2) the measure
of Plaintiff’s claimed damages; (3) a discussion, with citation to authority, of the effect of
Plaintiff’s conviction on Count 4 for drugs found on October 5, 2004, on Plaintiff’s claim for

damages stemming from his incarceration from October 5, 2004 to April 30, 2010; (4) an
outline of the evidence Plaintiff plans to adduce to prove damages, including names of any
witnesses and a statement of the proposed testimony of each; (5) a statement of how long
Plaintiff expects the hearing on damages to take; (6) whether the damages issue should
be determined by a jury and the authority therefore; and (7) any other matters Plaintiff
considers important for the undersigned to know in making a report and recommendation
on the Motion for Default Judgment.
The deadline for filing the aforementioned proposal is May 15, 2013.
SO ORDERED this 18th day of April, 2013.
