Case No. 3:14-cv-1866 (VAB)

RULING AND ORDER
Plaintiff, Jon A. St. Pierre, incarcerated and pro se, filed a civil rights complaint
against a number of employees of the Department of Correction. On November 9,
2015, the Court dismissed in part the complaint and ordered the Plaintiff to serve the
complaint on some of the defendants in both their individual and official capacities. See
Ruling and Order, dated November 9, 2015 (the “Ruling”). [Doc. No. 12].
Mr. St. Pierre seeks clarification of second full paragraph on page fourteen of the
ruling. In that paragraph, the Court notes that Mr. St. Pierre is responsible for serving
the defendants because he paid the filing fee to commence this action. The Court
directs Mr. St. Pierre to serve defendants Heidi, Tawana, Martin, Berkawitz, John Doe
#1, and John Doe #2 in their individual capacities within sixty days and to file returns of
service within seventy days. The last sentence of that paragraph incorrectly states that,
if the Plaintiff fails to comply with the order to serve the defendants in their individual
capacities, all claims against defendant Buchanan will be dismissed. Mark Buchanan is
not a defendant in this action.

Conclusion
The Motion to Clarify and Correct Ruling [Doc. No. 14] is GRANTED. The last
sentence of paragraph two on page fourteen of the Ruling and Order [Doc. No. 12]
is CORRECTED to read: Failure to comply with this order will result in the
dismissal of all claims against any defendant who is not served with a copy of the
complaint.
SO ORDERED at Bridgeport, Connecticut, this 17th day of December, 2015.
