ANTHONY RICARDO TURNER,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-1461 GEB DAD P

vs.

ED PRIETO, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil

rights action. On February 22, 2008, this court ordered plaintiff to file a declaration informing

the court of whether he wished to proceed on his original complaint or his amended complaint. 

Plaintiff has timely complied with the order and has clarified that he wishes to proceed on his

original complaint that was filed with the court on July 23, 2007. Plaintiff has also informed the

court again that the initial of defendant Austin’s first-name is “R” and that the defendant named

in the complaint as “Cooper” is actually named “Hooper.”

Because of plaintiff’s inadvertent errors in identifying defendants, the United

court will provide plaintiff with an opportunity to provide the correct information on the

documents necessary to effect service. 

Plaintiff is cautioned that when service of a complaint is not made upon a

defendant within 120 days after the complaint was filed, the court may be required to dismiss the

plaintiff’s claims against that defendant. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff one summons, two USM285 forms, an instruction sheet, and a copy of the complaint filed July 23, 2007;

2. Within sixty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete the

attached Notice of Submission of Documents and submit it to the court with the following

documents:

a. one completed summons form;

b. two completed USM-285 forms (one for defendant R. Austin and one

for defendant Hooper); and

c. three copies of the endorsed complaint filed July 23, 2007.

DATED: March 13, 2008.
