(Magistrate Judge Carlson)

ORDER

On November 26, 2012, Plaintiff, Kevin Andrew Shenk, filed a
complaint. This case is referred to Magistrate Judge Carlson who, on November 27,
2012, filed a report in which he recommended that Plaintiff be granted leave to
proceed in forma pauperis and that the complaint be dismissed without prejudice to
Plaintiff to file an amended complaint. Objections to the report and recommendation
were due on December 14, 2012. No objections were filed.
On December 13, 2012, however, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, a
request for appointment of counsel, a request for a time-stamped copy of the amended
complaint, a letter to the undersigned judge complaining about interference by the
prison with legal mail, a certificate of merit, and a request for an order to show cause
for a preliminary injunction.
In light of the new filings, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1) The court adopts the report and recommendation of Magistrate Judge
Carlson (Doc. 7).
2) Plaintiff is granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
3) The original complaint is dismissed.

4) This matter is remanded to Magistrate Judge Carlson for consideration
of the amended complaint, motion for appointment of counsel, the certificate of merit,
the request for preliminary injunction, and any other documents that require any
action by the court.
