IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTONIO KEATON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-0864 GEB CMK P

vs.

T. FELKER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On August 19, 2005, plaintiff filed a “motion and declaration for appointment of

counsel” and a “letter brief.” These documents were not served on defendants. Plaintiff is

advised that every document submitted to the court for consideration must be served on

defendants. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5. Documents not to be served electronically are usually served by

placing a copy in the U.S. mail. If an attorney has filed a document with the court on behalf of

any defendant, then documents submitted by plaintiff must be served on that attorney and not on

the defendants. Every document submitted conventionally to the court (e.g., by a prisoner

proceeding pro se) must include a certificate stating the date an accurate copy of the document

was mailed to defendants or their attorney and the address to which it was mailed. See Local

Rule 5-135(b) and (c).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s August 19, 2005

“motion and declaration for appointment of counsel” and a “letter brief” are denied without

prejudice. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to properly serve any documents subsequently filed

in this action, and failure to include a proper certificate of service with such filing, may result in

a recommendation that this action be dismissed.

DATED: August 29, 2005.
