ORDER RE PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST

On October 26, 2015, the Court issued an order granting Plaintiff’s request for an
extension of time until February 25, 2016 to effect service of process. Order, ECF 82.
On December 14, 2015, Plaintiff filed a Request for Clarification on Operative Complaint

18

for Purposes of Service of Summons and Complaint. Pl.’s Request, ECF 94. In relevant part, that

19

document states that “Plaintiff respectfully requests the Court clarify that the Amended Second

20

Amended Complaint is the operative complaint for purposes of serving the remaining defendants

21

in this case that have not yet received service of the summons and complaint.” Id. at 1.

22

Plaintiff appears to be seeking legal advice to aid him in effecting service of process. It is

23

not appropriate to direct that type of inquiry to the Court. The docket reflects that the Amended

24

Second Amended Complaint filed on November 18, 2015 as ECF 90 is the most recent complaint

25

and therefore the operative complaint. The Court cannot comment further.

26

Plaintiff may wish to contact the Federal Pro Se Program, a free program that offers

27

limited legal services and advice to parties who are representing themselves. The Federal Pro Se

28

Program has offices in two locations, listed below. Help is provided by appointment and on a
