The magistrate judge recommended that defendant Vertinelli be dismissed

because he could not be served. In his objections, plaintiff alleges that although this defendant

wore a name tag stating that his name was “Sergeant Vertinelli,” his true name is Sergeant

Martinez. Plaintiff states that he recently discovered this information.

Plaintiff must file an amended complaint accompanied by a motion for leave to

file an amended complaint if he wishes to correct the name of defendant Vertinelli. In the

motion to amend, plaintiff must address why he only recently discovered the true name of this

defendant. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule

304, this Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the

entire file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and

by proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed July 8, 2011 (ECF No. 66), are

ADOPTED in full; and

2. Defendant Vertinelli is DISMISSED.

Dated: September 19, 2011
