UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DALE OWEN DUSTIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

EDWARD S. ALAMEIDA, JR., et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:03-CV-5626-AWI-LJO-P

ORDER STRIKING UNSIGNED

DECLARATION AND REQUEST FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME

(Doc. 37)

Plaintiff Dale Owen Dustin (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 13, 2005, the court granted

plaintiff a thirty-day extension of time to file an amended complaint. On July 11, 2005, a declaration

and request for an extension of time was filed. The filing was not signed and shall be stricken from

the record for that reason. 

The court notes that the handwriting in the declaration and request bears a striking

resemblance to the handwriting of inmate Roderick Washington, whose name is mentioned in the

declaration. Based on previous handwritten submissions by plaintiff, the handwriting in the instant

filing does not bear any resemblance to the handwriting of plaintiff. It matters not who assists

plaintiff in drafting documents in this case. However, plaintiff is reminded that only he may sign

and file documents in this action.
