CASE NO. 1:06-CV-00212 OWW SMS P

ORDER STRIKING AMENDED COMPLAINT

FROM RECORD DUE TO LACK OF

SIGNATURE

(Doc. 7)

Plaintiff John McFarland and Otis Harris are federal prisoners proceeding pro se in this civil

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc-1, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act

of 2000 (“RLUIPA”). Plaintiffs filed this action on February 24, 2006. On May 22, 2006, an

amended complaint was filed. However, neither plaintiff signed the amended complaint. Each

document submitted for filing must include the original signature of the filing party or parties, Local

Rule 7-131; Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a), and all documents submitted without the required signature(s) will

be stricken. 

Accordingly, the amended complaint filed on May 22, 2006 is HEREBY STRICKEN based

on plaintiffs’ failure to sign it.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
