UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RONNIE STERLING LACY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

FRED FOULK, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-2770 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed June 8, 2016, this court directed plaintiff to complete and return to 

the court, within thirty days, the documents and information necessary for the United States 

Marshal to serve process on defendant Young. See ECF No. 24. Specifically, plaintiff was 

directed to submit the following: the completed Notice of Submission of Documents; one 

completed summons for defendant Young; one completed USM-285 form for defendant Young; 

and two copies of the endorsed complaint plus exhibits filed November 25, 2014. The court 

provided plaintiff with one copy of his complaint plus exhibits (totaling 205 pages), so that 

plaintiff could duplicate the entire document and return two copies to the court. Plaintiff was 

informed that “[f]ailure to return the above-described documents within the specified time period 

will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice.” ECF No. 24 at

On July 5, 2016, plaintiff submitted the required information however he did not submit 

two full copies of his complaint. Plaintiff submitted only pages 1-4 of the complaint (ECF 1), and 

pages 105-106 of his exhibits (ECF 1-1). 

Plaintiff will be given one additional opportunity to submit to the court two full copies of 

his complaint plus exhibits, which the court will then provide to the United States Marshal to 

serve process on defendant Young. If plaintiff fails to return two full copies of the complaint and 

exhibits within the specified time period, this action will be dismissed without prejudice.1

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty (30) days after service of this 

order, plaintiff shall submit to the court two (2) complete copies of his endorsed November 25, 

2014 complaint plus exhibits. 

SO ORDERED.
