UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL CAST,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN D’AGOSTINI, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-1428 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a former county jail inmate, is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a 

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

By an order filed September 29, 2023, this court ordered plaintiff to complete and return 

to the court, within thirty days, the USM-285 forms and copies of his complaint which are 

required to effect service on the defendants. On December 22, 2023, plaintiff submitted the 

USM-285 forms but failed to file a completed summons and the copies of the operative 

complaint. Plaintiff is granted the opportunity to provide the necessary forms so that service of 

process can be ordered.

On December 22, 2023, plaintiff filed a letter directed to the Clerk of the Court, 

complaining of conditions of confinement, and medical care provided at the El Dorado County 

Correctional Facility. (ECF No. 16.) Plaintiff also lodged complaints about the grievance 

process at the facility. Plaintiff asks for a “thorough investigation,” acknowledgement of his

mistreatment, and urged the court to “consider the need for improved training and protocols for 

medical staff” at the facility. (ECF No. 16 at 2.) Plaintiff is advised that the court does not 

investigate claims or complaints by litigants and the court also holds no supervisory control over 

the El Dorado County Correctional Facility. Rather, the El Dorado County Sheriff is in charge of 

the correctional facility, and any complaints or requests for investigation should be submitted to 

the sheriff. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a copy of the November 17, 2023 

second amended complaint (ECF No. 13); and

2. Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete and submit the 

attached Notice of Submission of Documents to the court, along with the three copies of the 

November 17, 2023 second amended complaint required to effect service. 

Failure to return the copies within the specified time period will result in a recommendation that 

this action be dismissed.

Dated: December 28, 2023
