IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TUANJA EDWARD ANDERSON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1868 FCD CMK P

vs.

DR. JACQUES C. HIRSCHLER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On January 27, 2006, plaintiff filed a request for extension of time for a discovery

order. That document was not served on defendants. Plaintiff is advised that every document

submitted to the court for consideration must be served on defendants. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5. 

Plaintiff is required to serve all documents in this action conventionally in accordance with the

relevant provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 5. See Local Rule 5-135(b). Since an attorney has filed a

document with the court on behalf of defendants, documents submitted by plaintiff must be

served on that attorney and not on the defendant. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(1). Conventional service

is usually accomplished by mailing a copy of the document to the attorney’s address of record. 

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(B). Plaintiff must include with every document filed in this action a

certificate stating the date an accurate copy of the document was mailed to defendants’ attorney

and the address to which it was mailed. See Local Rule 5-135(b) and (c).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

is stricken from the record and will not be considered; and

2. Plaintiff is ordered to properly serve any documents subsequently filed in this

action on defendants’ attorney of record. Plaintiff is warned that failure to comply with this

order may result in the dismissal of this action. See Local Rule 11-110.

DATED: February 15, 2006.
