IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA NORTHERN DIVISION JANIE L. KINSEY and C.H. KINSEY, ) ) Plaintiffs, ) ) v. ) ) C. LANCE GOULD, et al., ) ) Defendants. )

CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:05CV636-F [WO]

ORDER ON MOTION
On 12 July 2005, the plaintiffs ["the Kinseys"] filed a civil complaint stating that they "opposed the settlement Citifinancial offer[ed]." They further stated that they "prefer to go to court". The Kinseys have accused their former attorney, Lance Gould, Esq., of "refus[ing] to let [them] have a jury trial", and they contend that they are entitled to "damages as a result of alleged wrongdoing to the loans [they] had with [Citifinancial Associates]". The court has reviewed the plaintiffs' complaint against the defendants and finds that it is very difficult to determine the plaintiffs' specific claims against each of the defendants from the face of the complaint. The Kinseys have named as defendants (1) C. Lance Gould, (2) Citifinancial Associates, (3) J. King, and (4) TranSouth. The complaint does not identify Citifinancial Associates, J. King, or TranSouth, nor does it advise the court of any of the particulars of the "wrongdoing" that the defendants are alleged to have committed. Accordingly, before the plaintiff's complaint is served, it is ORDERED that on or before 28 July 2005, the plaintiffs shall file an amended
