On February 4, 2020, the plaintiff filed with the Clerk a handwritten letter addressed to this judge that the
Clerk has docketed as an “Objection”. (Docket No. 33). This letter is not an objection; it merely requests that the
case “be sent to the appeal court.” The plaintiff should take note of the fact that this letter does not constitute a
Notice of Appeal and that, if he wishes to appeal this court’s ruling, made in this Order, he must follow the proper
procedure to do so.
