)
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Plaintiffs’ latest motion seeks relief the Court cannot provide and is largely
incomprehensible, so it is denied. Plaintiffs are really seeking legal advice from this Court about
how to properly effectuate service – this, the Court cannot do. Plaintiffs chose to file this lawsuit
on their own behalf, and it is their responsibility to ensure proper service of process. Moreover,
I also note that plaintiffs are improperly attempting to force defendants to participate in
discovery conferences before this case has even been set for a Rule 16 conference. Finally, to
the extent the instant motion seeks to shorten defendants’ response time to the amended
complaint, it is denied.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiffs’ “motion to order agent authorized by
appointment or by law and correction” is denied.
