June 19, 2013
BACKGROUND:
The undersigned has given full and independent consideration to the

the report and recommendation in its entirety.
Additionally, this Court will direct Marks as to how to amend his complaint.
However, if Marks does not file an amended complaint that complies with the
1

terms of this Order and the report and recommendation of Magistrate Judge

with prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
