On October 22, 2012, Magistrate Judge Karen L. Hayes issued an order directing Plaintiff to amend his complaint to provide additional information needed to evaluate his claims on or before November 21, 2012. Plaintiff failed to comply with the order by the deadline, and, on January 14, 2013, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 15] recommending that the Court dismiss Plaintiff's complaint for failure to comply.
However, on January 29, 2013, Plaintiff filed a pleading in the form of a letter addressed to Magistrate Judge Hayes providing some additional information his case. [Doc. No. 16].
Given Plaintiff's indication that he now wishes to pursue his cause of action and the additional information provided, the Court DECLINES TO ADOPT the Report and Recommendation. Instead,
IT IS ORDERED that this matter be REMANDED to the Magistrate Judge for further proceedings.
