IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCUS RUBEN ELLINGTON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-99-1474 MCE CMK P

vs.

DIRECTOR OF CORRECTIONS,

et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On May 6, 2005, plaintiff filed an “opposition to defendants’ motion to strike. 

And plaintiff’s cross motion for injunction.” That document was 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).

result in the imposition of sanctions. Plaintiff is further cautioned that failure to serve any

documents subsequently filed in this action properly, and failure to include a proper certificate of

service with such filing, may result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
