No. 4:12CV183 FRB
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff’s motion to file an amended
complaint. Plaintiff’s proposed amended complaint is not signed. Under Rule 11 of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “[t]he court must strike an unsigned paper
unless the omission is promptly corrected after being called to the . . . party’s
attention.” As a result, the Court will order the Clerk to return the amended
complaint to plaintiff so that plaintiff may sign it and return it to the Court for filing.
If plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, the Court will deny plaintiff’s motion to
file an amended complaint.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall return the proposed amended
complaint (Docket No. 48-1) to plaintiff.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall sign the amended complaint
and return it to the Court within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this Order.
Dated this 17th day of July, 2012.
FREDERICK R. BUCKLES
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
