DEMAJIO JEROME ELLIS, Plaintiff, v. SERGEANT MYERS, et al., Defendants.

JON E. DEGUILIO

OPINION

Demajio Jerome Ellis, a pro se prisoner, filed a document captioned "Response to Opinion and Order" which the court construes as a motion to reconsider the screening order (DE 5) dated June 3, 2014. Based on this filing, it appears that there is confusion about what claims Ellis is presenting, who was involved, what they said or did, and what times various events occurred. Therefore he will be permitted to file an amended complaint. In it, he needs to clearly explain what each defendant did which makes that defendant financially liable to him. He needs to explain what happened, who was involved, and how he was injured.

For the foregoing reasons, the court:

(1) CONSTRUES the response (DE 7) as a motion to reconsider;

(2) GRANTS the motion to reconsider (DE 7);

(3) VACATES the screening order (DE 5);

(4) GRANTS Demajio Jerome Ellis leave to file an amended complaint;

(5) DIRECTS the clerk to place this cause number on a blank Prisoner Complaint 42 U.S.C. § 1983 form and send it to Demajio Jerome Ellis; and

(6) GRANTS Demajio Jerome Ellis until July 24, 2014, to submit an amended complaint.

SO ORDERED:
