IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEN ROBINSON, et al., CASE NO. CV F 05-1258 REC LJO

Plaintiff, ORDER ON PLAINTIFFS’ REQUEST 

vs. (Docs. 27.)

JOHN SNOW, Secretary of Treasury,

et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiffs proceed on their amended complaint filed November 10, 2005. On April 27, 2006,

plaintiff Percy McIntosh(“Mr. McIntosh”) filed a document entitled “Complainants [sic]Request Leave

To Amend Complainant [sic]” (“document”) and signed only by Mr. McIntosh. The document refers

to Fourteenth Amendment’s “equal protection of the laws” and appears to quote at length a United States

Supreme Court decision addressing freed slaves. The document concludes: “The agents pray that the

Court will allow them the same latitude that the courts, up to this point, have shown toward the Agency

in order to ensure that all Americans receive a fair hearing for their grievances.”

This Court is unable to decipher what Mr. McIntosh seeks to accomplish with the document.

If Mr. McIntosh seeks to file a further amended complaint, he must seek this Court’s order. See

F.R.Civ.P. 15(a). However, there are procedural defects to amend. The document is not an amended

pleading to satisfy F.R.Civ.P. 15(a). Nothing indicates the amended complaint has been served on

defendants to comply with F.R.Civ.P. 4(i) or that the document has been served on defendants.

Moreover, the document is signed only by Mr. McIntosh. Each document submitted for filing must

include the original signature of the filing party or parties. Local Rule 7-131; F.R.Civ.P. 11(a). Since

the document is not signed by all plaintiffs, it is not properly before this Court.

In light of the document’s deficiencies, this Court is unable to act on it and DENIES any relief

which the documents seeks.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
