Like the original complaint, plaintiff failed to sign the instant request. Plaintiff is hereby
reminded that Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires that “[e]very pleading,
written motion, and other paper . . . be signed by at least one attorney of record in the attorney’s
name—or by a party personally if the party is unrepresented.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a).
