IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GUADALUPE SOLIS ALVAREZ,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-0689 DFL CMK P

vs.

JAMES YATES, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

On September 19, 2005, petitioner submitted a letter. That document was not

served on respondents. Petitioner is advised that every document submitted to the court for

consideration must be served on respondents. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5; Rule 11, Fed. R. Governing

§ 2254 Cases. 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 respondents, then

documents submitted by petitioner must be served on that attorney and not on the respondents

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

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

On September 19, 2005, petitioner also submitted a separate letter in a foreign

language other than the English Language. It is clear that “translation” of documents is not

authorized under the Court Interpreters Act and there are no appropriated funds available to the

Clerk to pay for such expenses. Therefore, having the documents translated into English is not

an option. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s September 19, 2005

letters will be placed in the court file and disregarded.

DATED: September 22, 2005.
