The Magistrate Judge has received two letters from the
Plaintiff (Docket Entries 49 and 50). The Plaintiff should put the
pleadings that he filed with the Court in the proper format, as
shown

on

this

order.

The

Plaintiff

should

also

place

his

certificate of service at the end of any of his pleadings stating
that he has sent a copy to Defendant’s counsel in substantially the
following format:
I certify that a copy of the foregoing [insert name of
document] has been served by [insert whether by mail,
certified mail, etc.] upon Evan E. Cope and Thomas S.

The Plaintiff’s two letters seem to overlap.

Docket

Entry 49 dated May 24, 2011, requests subpoenas be issued for Lt.
Chris Deal and Terontae King.

The second letter, Docket Entry 50

dated May 25, 2011, requests subpoenas for Dwayne Parker, Terontae

King, and Lt. Chris Deal.

Both of the letters request that these

witnesses be available for the jury trial, which Plaintiff states
is set for March 21, 2012.

The request for trial witnesses is

premature since this case is not presently set for a trial,
although the Magistrate Judge recommended a trial date on or after
March 21, 2012 (Docket Entry 44).
The Magistrate Judge also notes that Docket Entry 49 was
addressed to Judge Sharp.

At the present time this case is

assigned to Chief Judge Campbell. If the Plaintiff will use the
proper caption and file motions rather than letters things will
proceed more smoothly.
It is so ORDERED.
