UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON 

AT TACOMA 

ANTHONY BOTEILHO, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CHRISTINE GREGOIRE et al., 

Defendants.

 CASE NO. C09-5407FDB/JRC 

ORDER RESCINDING THE 

ORDER DIRECTING SERVICE 

BY UNITED STATES 

MARSHAL 

 This 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action has been referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 636 (b) (1) (A) and 636 (b) (1) (B) and Local Magistrates Judges’ Rules 

MJR 1, MJR 3, and MJR 4. On August 17, 2009, the court entered an order directing plaintiff to 

provide service copies (Dkt. # 5). On September 28, 2009, plaintiff sought a short extension of 

time by letter (Dkt. # 7). This letter referenced an amended complaint, but no amended 

complaint was attached. On October 5, 2009, the clerk’s office received a number of complaints 

and service forms and a notation was entered that the service copies had been received. On 

October 21, 2009, the court entered an order directing the United States Marshals to serve the 

complaint (Dkt. #9). The court has now discovered that the copies are actually amended

complaints. The amended complaint adds new defendants and is not the same as the original 

complaint. 

While plaintiff alleges there are seventeen defendants, the court counts the number of 

defendants as being 24 plus John and Jane Does. The court has eighteen copies of the amended 

complaint, but does not have the proper number of Marshal’s Service Forms. 

 The Order Directing Service entered October 20, 2009, (Dkt. # 9) is RESCINDED. 

Plaintiff will have until December 4, 2009, to provide six more copies of the amended complaint 

and a complete set of filled out Marshals Service forms. The six new copies must be identical to 

the eighteen amended complaints already received by the court. 

 Failure to comply with this order will result in a Report and Recommendation that this 

action be dismissed for failure to comply with a court order. The Clerk is directed to send a copy 

of this Order and 24 blank Marshal’s service forms to plaintiff. The clerk should also note the 

December 4, 2009 date on the court’s calendar. 

 DATED this 2nd day of November, 2009.
