Defendants. ORDER

 /

On November 21, 2005, the court granted plaintiff’s request for a subpoena and

directed the Clerk to issue one subpoena. Since that date, plaintiff has filed numerous

duplicative requests for forms, instructions, samples, and legal advice regarding subpoenas,

production of documents, and depositions. The subpoena issued by the court on November 22,

2005, was returned unexecuted on December 5, 2005. Plaintiff has also filed a copy of

correspondence with counsel for defendants.

Plaintiff is informed that the court cannot provide legal advice to litigants, act as a

party’s legal assistant, or serve subpoenas. The court has no instructions or sample forms that

will assist plaintiff with the preparation and service of subpoenas or discovery requests. If

plaintiff is unable to arrange for proper service of subpoenas, he must consider alternative means
