No. CIV 07-2619-PHX-NVW (DKD)

ORDER

Pending before the Court are motions filed by Plaintiff Jimmie Keith Brown. Following

the screening of his pro se prisoner civil rights complaint, Brown was ordered to return his

service packets within 20 days. When he failed to do so, the Court ordered Brown to show

cause why his case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. In response to this Order,

Brown stated that the reason he had not yet returned the service packets was because he had

discovered the identity of two defendants previously listed as Does I and II. See Doc. #9. He

now seeks permission to file an amended complaint and has requested two additional service

packets. See Doc. #8, 10. However, in his proposed Amended Complaint, although he lists the

names of two new defendants, he fails to link them to any specific claim. The Court will deny

both motions, without prejudice to his filing an of-right amended complaint, including all of the

allegations of his original complaint, plus the addition of the two new defendants. In addition

to naming the new defendants, Brown must link each claim to the respective defendant, as he

did in the original complaint.
