COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, et al.
PROCEDURAL ORDER
December 3, 2012
STEARNS, D.J.
On October 5, 2012, Richard Thomas Johnson, Jr. filed a complaint accompanied
by an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees. By Memorandum and Order
dated November 2, 2012, the Court granted Johnson’s Application and advised him that
if he wishes to pursue this action, he must, within thirty-five (35) days of the date of the
Memorandum and Order, file an Amended Complaint. The order was mailed to plaintiff at
a Plymouth address that he had provided on the Civil Category Form.
Mr. Johnson has sent an email to several court employees, and others, stating that
his new address is 28 B Peck Street, Attleboro, MA 02703. The Court will direct the clerk
to update the docket with Mr. Johnson’s current address and to mail Mr. Johnson a copy
of the November 2, 2012 Memorandum and Order. Because Mr. Johnson does not appear
to have received the Court’s November 2, 2012 Memorandum and Order, he will be
granted an extension of time to respond. Plaintiff shall respond no later than December 21,
2012.
Mr. Johnson is advised that he has not been granted permission to file documents
by electronic means. See District of Massachusetts Local Rules 5.4 (filing and service by
electronic means). Plaintiff Johnson shall stop contacting the Court by e-mail. If he wishes
to register as a filer in the Court’s Electronic Case Filing (ECF) system, he shall review, and

follow, the Court’s Case Management/Electronic Case Files Administrative Procedures.
See http://www.mad.uscourts.gov/caseinfo/pdf/ECFadminProc.pdf.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:
(1)

The Clerk shall update the docket with Johnson’s current address and mail
him a copy of the Court’s November 2, 2012 Memorandum and Order;

(2)

Plaintiff is granted until December 21, 2012 to respond; and

(3)

Plaintiff shall stop contacting the Court by e-mail.
SO ORDERED.
