ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT,

AND DENYING REQUEST RETURN

OF COPIES 

(DOCUMENT #16)

On November 2, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion to extend time to file a second amended

complaint. In addition, plaintiff requested the return ofseventeen copies of his first amended complaint,

submitted by plaintiff for the defendants, along with plaintiff’s original first amended complaint. 

Unless the Court has requested the submission of copies for a specified purpose (e.g., parties

submitting filings in paper are to provide one additional copy for the Court’s use), the Court does not

retain copies. If plaintiff submitted seventeen copies of his first amended complaint, the copies were

not kept and, therefore, cannot be returned to plaintiff. Plaintiff is required to submit one copy in

addition to his original filing, for the Court’s use. It is unnecessary for plaintiff to send any copies to the

Court for defendants. Once the complaint is screened and deemed appropriate for service of process by

the Marshal, the Court will direct plaintiff via order to submit additional copies to be served on each

named defendant. Until the Court issues such a directive to plaintiff, it is unnecessary for plaintiff to

submit any copies of his amended complaint for defendants.
