ORDER

This is a civil action filed by a pro se litigant. 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 May 3, 2017, the court issued an order authorizing issuance and service of process on the
defendants. (ECF No. 13.) 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 Complaint.

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.
