UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARTIN VAZQUEZ,

CDCR #D-18168,

Civil No. 11cv2352-IEG (PCL)

Plaintiff, Order 

(1) Striking Previously Filed Fourth

Amended Complaint [Doc. 21];

(2) Granting Plaintiff’s Motion for

Leave to File Fourth Amended

Complaint; 

(3) Directing Clerk to Issue

Summonses on Fourth Amended

Complaint 

vs.

GEORGE A. NEOTTI; SUGLISH; 

B. KOEN; R. DAVIS; JANNUSH;

PAYNE; JACA; HURBERT; 

DR. SEGAL; SANCHEZ, 

Defendants.

By order filed April 6, 2012, the Court dismissed without prejudice Defendants

Neotti, Suglish, Koen, Davis, Jannush, Payne, Jaca, Seagal and Sanchez because Plaintiff’s

Third Amended Complaint failed to allege any claims against them. The Court ordered

service of the Third Amended Complaint only upon Defendant Hubert, the only person

against whom Plaintiff made allegations in the Third Amended Complaint. 

Thereafter, on April 18, 2012, the Court received1

 Plaintiff’s Fourth Amended

Complaint [Doc. 21], re-asserting claims against Defendants Neotti, Suglish, Koen, Davis,

1

Magistrate Judge Lewis accepted the Fourth Amended Complaint for filing without ruling on

or accepting for filing Plaintiff’s accompanying motion for leave to amend.

Jannush, Sanchez, Hubert. On May 16, 2012, the Court received another Fourth Amended

Complaint from Plaintiff, asserting claims against Defendants Neotti, Suglish, Koen, Davis,

Jannush, Hubert, and Sanchez identical to those contained in the pleading filed on April 18,

2012. Plaintiff seeks leave to file this Fourth Amended Complaint.

Because Plaintiff did not obtain leave to file the prior pleading [Doc. 21], the Court

orders the pleading stricken from the record. However, the Court finds the interests of justice

would be served by allowing Plaintiff file one final amended pleading setting forth all of his

claims against all of the defendants. Therefore, the court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion for

leave to file Fourth Amended Complaint. The Clerk shall file Plaintiff’s Fourth Amended

Complaint and it shall be the operative pleading in this case.

The Clerk is directed to issue a summons on Plaintiff’s Fourth Amended Complaint as

to Defendants Neotti, Suglish, Koen, Davis, Jannush, Hubert2

, and Sanchez. The Clerk is

directed to forward the summons to Plaintiff along with a blank U.S. Marshal Form 285 for

each of the seven defendants, a copy of the Court’s November 17, 2011 order granting 

Plaintiff leave to proceed IFP [Doc. 5], and copies of the Fourth Amended Complaint and

summons for purposes of serving each of the seven Defendants. Upon receipt of this “IFP

Package,” Plaintiff is directed to complete the Form 285s as completely and accurately as

possible, and to return them to the U.S. Marshal according to the instructions provided by the

clerk in the letter accompanying his IFP package. Thereafter, the U.S. Marshal shall serve a

copy of the Fourth Amended Complaint and summons upon each Defendant as directed by

Plaintiff on each Form 285. All costs of service shall be advanced by the United States

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 4, 2012

IRMA E. GONZALEZ, Chief Judge

United States District Court

Although the Clerk previously issued summons for Defendant Hubert on the Third Amended

Complaint, it appears Plaintiff has not yet forwarded those materials to the U.S. Marshal for service.
