.IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

GAINESVILLE DIVISION

BRUCE RICH,

Plaintiff,

v. CASE NO. 1:10-cv-00157-MP-GRJ

JEFFERY ANDREWS, 

et al, 

Defendants.

_____________________________/

SECOND ORDER DIRECTING SERVICE

Summonses have been returned un-executed on two defendants, S. T.

Robinson and Julie Deno. (Doc. 15.) The special process server at the Florida

Department of Corrections Central Office, Debra D. Hix, advises that a first name will be

needed before S. T. Robinson can be served, and that Julie Deno is now employed at

Madison Correctional Institution. Robinson is identified in the Complaint as the

“Assistant Warden of Programs (former)” and signed a grievance attached to the

Complaint as “S. T. Robinson.” If Robinson used initials only it is unlikely that Plaintiff

would know his or her first name and it should be unnecessary to provide this

information for the process server to identify S. T. Robinson, who was the former

Assistant Warden of Programs at Central Office. 

Service will, therefore, be directed again upon Robinson at Central Office and

Deno at her new place of employment.

Accordingly, it is 

ORDERED:

1. The Clerk shall issue summonses for S. T. Robinson, Former Assistant

Warden of Programs, at Florida Department of Corrections Central Office, 2601

Correctional Institution, 382 S. W. MCI Way, Madison, FL 32340, indicating that

Defendants have sixty (60) days in which to file a response to the complaint, and refer

the summonses to the United States Marshals Service, along with the service copies of

Plaintiff's complaint. 

2. The Clerk shall also prepare and send the Marshal a copy of this order for

complaint, a summons, and this order upon each Defendant. Service shall be

accomplished by mailing these documents by regular mail to the above named

special process server who shall serve the complaint. All costs of service shall be

5. Within 10 days after receipt of the complaint and this order, Debra Hix and

receipt of service.

6. If any Defendant is no longer employed at the designated institution or facility,

or is otherwise unable to be served, the server shall report this information to the Clerk

days of the date of service.

10. Plaintiff is advised that after a response to the complaint has been filed, no

further amendments to the complaint shall be permitted by the Court unless, as

required by Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff files a separate

motion for leave to so amend and provides a copy of the proposed amended complaint. 

N.D. Fla. Loc. R. 15.1.

11. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2), the Clerk shall forward to Plaintiff

a form for consenting to trial by the magistrate judge, with the case number written on it. 

If Plaintiff wishes to consent, the form should be signed and forwarded to counsel for

Defendants. If Defendants wish to consent, the form should be signed and returned to

the Clerk.

12. After a notice of appearance has been filed, Plaintiff shall be required to mail

to the attorney for each Defendant a copy of every pleading or other paper, including

letters, submitted for consideration by the Court. Plaintiff shall include with each

pleading, motion, or other paper to be filed with the Clerk of the Court a certificate

stating the date an identical copy of the paper was mailed to each Defendant or to the

attorney representing each Defendant. Any paper so submitted for filing that does not

contain a "certificate of service" shall be returned by the Clerk and disregarded by the

Court.

13. Plaintiff is reminded to keep the Clerk of Court advised of any change in his

mailing address should he be transferred, released from prison, or otherwise be

relocated. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of Plaintiff's action for failure to 

prosecute should court orders not be able to reach Plaintiff.
