Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-1108 GEB JFM P

vs.

CDC OFFICER SHERBIN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. On

December 23, 2005, plaintiff filed a document entitled “Opposition to Third Amended

Complaint.” Rule 7 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides as follows:

There shall be a complaint and an answer; a reply to a counterclaim

denominated as such; an answer to a cross-claim, if the answer contains a

cross-claim; a third-party complaint, if a person who was not an original

party is summoned under the provisions of Rule 14; and a third-party

answer, if a third-party complaint is served. No other pleading shall be

allowed, except that the court may order a reply to an answer or a thirdparty answer. 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a) (emphasis added). The court has not ordered plaintiff to reply to defendants’

answer and declines to make such an order.
