Defendants.
_____________________________________/
On August 22, 2014, Plaintiff Tadeusz Wyrzykowski, who is proceeding pro se, filed a

19

complaint and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (Complaint, ECF No. 1; IFP

20

Application, ECF No. 3.1) He brings claims against four Defendants: (1) the County of Marin; (2)

21

the County of Marin Board of Supervisors; (3) Roy Given; and (4) Liz Clark. (First Amended

22

Complaint, ECF No. 8.) On January 7, 2015, Deputy County Counsel Sheila Lichtblau filed a

23

consent declaration on behalf of “Defendants [plural] County of Marin.” (Consent (County of

24

Marin), ECF No. 18.) The next day, she filed a motion to dismiss on behalf of unspecified

25

“Defendants” [plural]. (Motion, ECF No. 19.) The request for judicial notice that accompanies the

1

motion also states that it is on behalf of “Defendants” [plural]. (RJN, ECF No. 20.) However, the

2

certificate of service for the motion and request states that service was filed on behalf of

3

“Defendants [plural] County of Marin,” but states that the motion and request that were served were

4

“Defendant [singular] County of Marin’s” motion and request. (Certificate of Service, ECF No. 22.)

5

To clear up this confusion, the court directs Ms. Lichtblau to clarify, in writing and by noon on

6

January 1, 2015, whether she represents all four Defendants or only the County of Marin and which

7

Defendant or Defendants move to dismiss the First Amended Complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
