Date Filed Document Text
July 20, 2023 Filing 23 ***DOCUMENT MAILED: 22 TEXT Order placed in U.S. Mail from Florence Clerks Office to Michael D. Gallman, #254546, Evans Correctional Institution, 610 Hwy 9 West, Bennettsville, SC, 29512 (dsto, )
July 20, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 22 TEXT ORDER: Plaintiff previously had been ordered to file an Amended Complaint with deficiencies noted.(ECF No. #7 ). On June 20, 2023, Plaintiff responded with a Second Complaint but with no correction of the prior deficiencies. (ECF No. #10 ). On July 10, 2023, all parties except Defendant Freeman were recommended to be summarily dismissed, and the same date, service was authorized and summons issued as to Defendant Freeman. (ECF No. #18 ). Importantly, the recommendation included that the remaining defendants be dismissed without further leave to amend. Plaintiff mailed a third Complaint dated July 13, 2023, which has been construed as a Motion to Amend. It is unclear in the passing of the mail, if Plaintiff had received the recommendation and the partial serve order when he mailed the third complaint. The proposed complaint mailed in July is substantively the same allegations and claims as the Amended Complaint authorized for service on Defendant Freeman and further amendment would be futile. To the extent Plaintiff intended the July filing to be objections to the report and recommendation, Plaintiff's filing is on the docket for the district judge's review. Signed by Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III on 07/20/2023. (dsto, )
