ORDER 
Plaintiff Roshaun Jones, a state prisoner appearing pro se, initiated this federal civil 
rights action on September 5, 2025 . See Compl. (Doc. No. 1). In accordance with 28 
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Shon T. Erwin for 
preliminary review. 
On September 29, 2025, Judge Erwin issued a Report and Recommendation (“R. & 
R.,” Doc. No. 5) recommending that this action be dismissed on screening pursuant to 28 
U.S.C. § 1915A for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 
Plaintiff filed a timely Objection to the R . & R . See Doc. No. 6. Pursuant to 
controlling authority, the Court reviews de novo the portions of the R. & R. to which 
specific objections have been made. See United States v. 2121 E. 30th St. , 73 F.3d 1057, 
1060 (10th Cir. 1996); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). 
In his Objection, Plaintiff does not dispute the findings and conclusions of the R. & 
R. Plaintiff requests leave to file an amended complaint, however, arguing that he is now

in possession of discovery that will “make his claims stronger” and allow him to pinpoint 
“who did what” to “violate[] [Plaintiff’s] rights under 42 U.S.C. [§] 1983.” Pl.’s Obj. at 2. 
Having reviewed Plaintiff’s contentions, the Court finds that Plaintiff should be 
permitted an opportunity to amend his pleading . Plaintiff is advised that any attempt to 
continue with this litigation will be subject to the requirements of the federal and local civil 
rules, as well as any applicable screening requirement of 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. 
CONCLUSION 
 Accordingly, the reasoning of the Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 5) is 
ADOPTED. The Court declines to dismiss this matter at this time. 
 The Clerk of Court is directed to send a Pro Se Prisoner Civil Rights Complaint 
form to Plaintiff. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint within twenty-one (21) days of 
the date of this Order. 
 Plaintiff’s Motion to Expedite (Doc. No. 8) is DENIED AS MOOT. 
 IT IS SO ORDERED this 2nd day of June, 2026.
