Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. It has come to the court’s attention that plaintiff’s complaint was signed by the

19

prisoner who assisted him in completing the complaint and not by plaintiff. Although plaintiff is

20

permitted to have assistance from other prisoners in completing his complaint, he must sign the

21

complaint himself unless he is represented by an attorney. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a).

22

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

23

1.

Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall return the completed

25

that the complaint be dismissed.
