ORDER

Previously, the United States removed this action from State Court and
attached the Complaint, Amended Complaint, and Second Amended Complaint to
the Notice of Removal. These pleadings filed by Plaintiff, however, also reference
a number of documents that appear to be exhibits to the Complaint and Amended
Complaints. The United States did not include these documents in its Notice of
Removal and the documents are not in the record. This Court cannot properly rule
on the pending motions before it until a complete copy of Plaintiff’s pleadings are
before the Court. Accordingly, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(b) the Court
DIRECTS the United States to file with the Clerk within ten (10) days of the entry
of this Order copies of all records and proceedings in the State Court.
