ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

SUBMIT COPIES OF THE ENDORSED 

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT FILED 

ON JUNE 5, 2014

(ECF No. 16)

Plaintiff Cayetano Melendez (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff, through limited appointment 

counsel, filed his second amended complaint on June 5, 2014. The Court screened the complaint 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, and found that it stated cognizable claims against: (1) Defendant 

Hunt for excessive force, inhumane conditions of confinement and deliberate indifference to 

serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment; and (2) Defendants Arriola and 

Cruz for failure to intervene in violation of the Eighth Amendment.1

On June 6, 2014, the Court instructed the Clerk of the Court to send Plaintiff USM-285 

forms, summonses, a Notice of Submission of Documents form, an instruction sheet and a copy 

of the second amended complaint filed June 5, 2014. The Court ordered Plaintiff to complete the 

Notice of Submission of Documents and submit it to the Court within thirty days, along with 

 

1 Plaintiff also names DOE defendants. The Court will not order service of 

any DOE defendants unless and until an amended complaint is filed identifying 

such defendants.

second amended complaint filed on June 5, 2014. (ECF No. 16.)

On July 28, 2014, Plaintiff submitted his Notice of Submission of Documents, which 

included three summonses and three completed USM-285 forms. However, Plaintiff failed to 

submit the required copies of the second amended complaint. (ECF No. 17.) 

Accordingly, within thirty (30) days from the date of this Order, Plaintiff SHALL 

SUBMIT four (4) copies of the endorsed second amended complaint filed on June 5, 2014. 

Upon receipt, the Court will direct the United States Marshal to serve the above-named 

defendants pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 without payment of costs. Plaintiff’s

failure to comply with this Order will result in dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
