Plaintiff's inmate trust account at the jail. On June 29, 2009, the Court denied Plaintiff's request that the Court provide copies of the complaint and charge the copies to his jail trust account, explaining that the Court does not have access to his jail trust account and cannot provide copy service for a party. The Court directed the Clerk of the Court to return Plaintiff's copy of the complaint and further ordered Plaintiff to submit six (6) copies of the endorsed complaint within thirty (30) days. More than thirty days have passed and Plaintiff has not submitted the copies. Therefore, Defendants have not yet been served with the complaint. Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, if any he has, why the action should not be dismissed for failure to return the requisite copies of the complaint for service. Plaintiff is ORDERED to file a written response to this Order to Show Cause within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order. Failure to respond to this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
