UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY BUFORD,

Plaintiff,

v.

WASCO STATE PRISON, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:01-CV-5192 REC SMS P 

ORDER STRIKING MOTION FOR FAILURE

TO CERTIFY MOTION WAS SERVED ON

DEFENDANTS’ COUNSEL

(Doc. 102)

On May 16, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion relating to service of process. (Doc. 102.) The

certificate of service attached to the motion does not state that the motion was served on defendants’

counsel. Plaintiff is well aware of the requirement that he serve defendants’ counsel and that he so

state in the certificate of service.1 Further, plaintiff’s statement of non-opposition to defendants’

request for an extension of time, filed May 5, 2005, demonstrates that plaintiff is aware that certain

defendants have been served and are represented by counsel. (Doc. 99.) 

Plaintiff is hereby placed on notice that if he again submits a filing that does not include a

certificate of service stating that he served a copy on defendants’ counsel, he will be ordered to show

cause why sanctions should not be imposed.
