IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NEAL O’NEILL, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. CIV S-04-0169 GEB GGH P

vs.

AGENT McCARTHY, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiffs Neal O’Neill and Marion O’Neill are proceeding pro se with this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 30, 2005, the court dismissed the third

amended complaint with leave to file a fourth amended complaint. The third amended complaint

was not signed by both plaintiffs. In the March 30, 2005, order the court also observed that the

third amended complaint did not identify any defendants or discuss the relief sought.

On April 26, 2005, plaintiffs filed a fourth amended complaint. This complaint is

signed by both plaintiffs and discusses the relief sought. However, this complaint does not

identify the defendants. While this complaint contains allegations against various persons, it is

unclear who plaintiffs intend to be named as defendants. The court cannot guess who the

defendants are. Plaintiffs are granted one final opportunity to file an amended complaint that

complies with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8. Plaintiffs should list the defendants at the beginning of the fifth

amended complaint and then specifically discuss how each defendant violated their rights. The

fifth amended complaint must be signed by both plaintiffs and discuss the relief sought.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the fourth amended complaint filed

April 26, 2005, is dismissed with thirty days to file a fifth amended complaint.
