United States District Court, D. Vermont
Oct 21, 2008
File No. 1:08-CV-135 (D. Vt. Oct. 21, 2008)

Opinion

File No. 1:08-CV-135.

October 21, 2008


ORDER (Paper 3)


Plaintiff William Ryan, proceeding pro se, brings this action alleging violations of his constitutional rights. The defendants have moved for a more definite statement, arguing that Ryan's two-page complaint is "general and conclusory and devoid of specific facts." (Paper 3 at 3). Ryan has responded to the motion by filing a five-page "addendum" to the complaint. (Paper 10). The addendum is comprised of numbered paragraphs, and provides significantly more detail about the facts underlying his legal claims.

The Court construes Ryan's addendum as an amended complaint. The motion for a more definite statement (Paper 3) is DENIED without prejudice as moot, and the defendants shall file an answer or other appropriate response to Ryan's amended complaint within 10 days of the date of this Order. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(a)(4)(A).

SO ORDERED.
