ORDER

This is a civil action filed by state pretrial detainee. Under Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2)
(D.S.C.), pretrial proceedings in this action have been referred to the assigned United States
Magistrate Judge. On October 3, 2017, the court issued an order authorizing issuance and service
of process on the defendants. (ECF No. 22.) In that order, under the heading “Construction of the
Pleading,” the court, following initial screening pursuant to applicable law, listed the claims it
construed as raised by the Plaintiff in the Second Amended Complaint.
Counsel has now entered an appearance for one or more named defendants. The court directs
each legal representative entering an appearance in this matter on behalf of any defendant to certify
that the court’s order authorizing service of process has been received and that the Plaintiff’s claims
as construed by the court have been reviewed by completing the “Defendant’s Certification” below
and filing it with the court within seven (7) days from the date of this order. If any party disagrees
with the court’s construction of the Plaintiff’s claims, he or she may file an appropriate motion with
the court within seven (7) days from the date of this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
